What I don't like is that Perry is proceeding even though we voted it down in San Antonio. Strayhorn isn't lying when she says 'land grab.' There are people along I-35 who don't want to part with their property.
Perry's statements in this campaign don't ring true to me.
We visited Houston and it's tough to have enough quarters. And rather expensive to navigate the city, especially when the tolls aren't always the same. I can't speak about Austin, but then we don't really like each other, these two cities.
Plus, I'll still be paying annual registration, inspection, gas taxes, ect...
You can get around Houston without paying tolls using the freeways that were there before the toll roads were built, but it will take you longer, because there they are more congested. I guarantee you that if I wanted to make sure I got to IAH in time to make a flight, I'd take the Hardy toll road rather than I-45 or US-59.
