The institute claims the money can be raised through existing gas taxes, without having to make the roads pay as you go.

By raising the gas tax 39 cents per gallon for part of it, and raising local taxes for the remainder.

Funny how the reporter failed to add in that info.

Wonderful sending another 39 cents per gallon to either Washington DC or Austin. It seems that South Texas never gets its fair share back. The original Interstate Highway system was supposed to be complete by 1971. I-37 from Corpus Christi to San Antonio wasn't completed till 1981.
