OK, Gov. Perry's "innovative financing" made Texas Monthly's "Top 10 ways to Fix Texas" (see 2 articles down), but other than that, the papers are not really telling the readers that "innovative financing" is really tolling freeways. And, that freeways have never been shifted to tollways in the history of our country. And, that Perry needs to inject this new tax scheme with lots of our tax dollars to make it happen.
Dallas area version of a MPO, North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) must have a pre-vote by each city. The City of Frisco, on Wednesday evening voted to table a freeway toll vote. The vote was tabled partly because Frisco found out Perry's TxDOT gave another false deadline to force a toll vote. There is record of other MPO's finding out TxDOT gave false deadlines for toll votes in 2004. I'm told of a recent important TxDOT letter to a county judge that I will get a hold of and post here soon.
VIDEO: Austin Council Member Brewster McCracken gives long list of many TxDOT lies, including a false deadline, that lead to an Independent Review by the Austin City Council months later (to begin shortly).
