If we Texans stopped robbing the state gas tax fund for education. That would be a huge step in the right direction. Currently 25% of all state gas tax dollars is stolen for education. I don't have kids, don't want kids;why should my gas taxes be used for anything else other than keeping the roads maintained that I drive on.

If we Texans stopped robbing the state gas tax fund for education.

That's set in your state Constitution. Plus, another 20 percent of the gas tax is going to other things.

I’d rather have toll roads than higher fuel taxes. Toll roads can be built faster. The four fastest growing metroplitan areas in the entire United States are Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin. There’s no way the transportation needs of the state of Texas can be met by marginal upgrades of the existing interstate highways.
