Well, I guess petrol taxation is just part of the general fund now.

Imagine that, $0.55 cents on every gallon of gas sold, just isn’t enough. And about $0.65 cents on every gallon of deisil doesn’t help get the job done.

Now we get to pay for using the roads we’ve already paid for.

How did our forefathers pay for highways? Did they force tolls on every foot of the highways they built?

We have turned into a fine buch of spineless lemings haven’t we.

I love the new toll road in Austin! My 1 1/2 hour one way commute dropped to 20 minute...YES A 1 hour reduction one way. There are parts of Austin I no longer go to, because it’s just not worth the travel time.
