And yet the tollways are constantly jammed. Guess people don’t mind paying the tolls to get to where they need to be. Anyone who doesn’t want to pay can take surface roads. If anything, the tolls should be increased during rush hour to reduce the gridlock.
Also, is the author Luther Campbell from 2 Live Crew? That would explain the middle school level of writing.
Indeed, it is the same Luther Campbell, I don’t know why he’s writing newspaper columns on toll roads.

Not always. When Gov. Good Hair Rick Perry was looking at selling Texas’ tollways to Spain, there was a “non-compete” clause to prohibit construction of free feeder roads alongside the tollways.

It’s a New Times publication (akin to Village Voice Media).
AKA an alt-left hippie sex-drug weekly paper (the kind that used to be financed by massive escort and strip joint ads in the back).
With the investigation of Backpage.com, that revenue stream has dried up and those publications no longer publish print editions, they are strictly online entities.
