With all due respect to this native son a specific proposal was not on the ballot nor was the transfer of state assets (roads) to the myrid local transportation politburos. I guess I'm just stupid but I thought I was voting for more money for roads. Stupid me.

But I guess that's what Texas want. I pretty much figured that we didn't care the day the 1/4 percent sales tax went into effect with the promise that "we'll never, ever have to raise it and it'll generate so much money that we will never had to raise property taxes".

Yep, that sure worked out just like they said and based on 60 years of them urinating on my boot and telling me it's raining I feel just great letting them to get into my pocket so much deeper.

Goobermint lovers must be in hog heaven.

And the same Texans voted for the Lottery, 'cause we were told it it could go to education. Please do not kick me, I am just the messenger. I do not like big government. The fact remains that the Feds control the Interstate system. I have never been a fan of opening up the Texas Constitution to meddling. But it is done. Marching in the streets will not change that, much to the dismay of some. The best that we can do, IMHO, is work with our county government.
