Meanwhile, Texas' need for more roads is greatly expanding because of the population explosion that has occurred over the past 15 years and is expected to continue well into the future.

Seems oblivious to the fact that the population explosion would drive increased tax revenues.

True, but the price of steel, concrete, etc. are growing even than the population/revenues. Indexing gas taxes to the inflation will help, but not much since construction costs are rising faster than inflation.

I say keep the gas tax where it is, use tolls to finance new highways and where possible have developers build local streets.

This would be overtaken by all those new people adding to wear and tear on the roads...
