Round Rock Leader front page article


The Round Rock Leader did a front page article this week on the Maxwell Dealerships Boycott. It was titled "Mayor Target of Protesters", but the Leader got something dead wrong. They called us an "anti-toll group". That is simply not true:

"An anti-toll group has focused its efforts on Mayor Nyle Maxwell. Members of the Austin Toll Party organized a protest of Maxwell's car dealerships, with protesters at the Maxwell Nissan site in Round Rock Saturday. A week earlier, they were at the Maxwell Ford dealership in Austin."
ATP and TTP are not against traditional toll roads that are designed and built as new highways and are created using investor dollars. We are against shifting our public highways to toll roads using our tax dollars. Most people think this is wrong and immoral. This was explained in the press release. The article did have one good line:
"Austin Toll Party is a grassroots group dedicated to stopping Gov. Rick Perry's plan of tolling public highways."
It's time the special interest politicians like Rick Perry, Mayor Maxwell & Mayor Wynn (who all voted to toll roads we've already paid for) to do what's good for the public - or they'll be paying the toll.
