The Bangles opened the Sam Houston Tollway with a concert way back in the 80's.

Tollbooths were supposed to come down once the road was paid for. They're still there and with fare increases.

Robert Eckels(R) said he didn’t have to obey that because that was promised before he was in charge.

The same was said of the Golden Gate Bridge. That's one reason why I'd rather pay for roads out of my taxes than stop every 10 miles to pay cash or slow down to 5 mph to have my window sensor scanned.

And guess who’s lobbying for the public-private high speed rail?

They’ll tell you that is privately funded but look at their plans to use public funds to bring it downtown.

Same with the Turnpike through Kansas. That dream went away long ago. They are now updating the toll booths with better readers for those with K-tags.
