1. Vote to Toll Already Tax Funded Roads.
2. Raise Taxes Again for next years Budget.
3. Give Foul Self a Raise.
These 3 Travis County Commissioners voted to privatize and toll already tax funded public highways - a first for the U.S. They voted to raise our county taxes this past Thursday, Sept 29, 2005.
Sam Biscoe, Karen Sonleitner, and Gerald Daugherty, approved the 2005-06 Travis County budget, giving a blessing to a plan that calls for a larger tax increase, nearly double, than what the county's budget office proposed. So much for representing the families of Travis County.
Recently, an Austin City Councilman discovered that Central Texas drivers will be charged 10 times the national average per toll road mile, for some sections, or the equivalent of a $20.00 per gallon gas tax!
Under the approved Travis County budget increase, the average property tax bill will jump to $812.96 next year, an increase of $41.73 more than this past year. In addition, they also unanimously voted to give themselves a raise!
It's time for Texans to wake-up to the travesty perpetrated in the special interest push for toll roads and the blatantly self serving politicians who push them. Will you remember the names of Biscoe, Sonleitner, and Daugherty when it's time to vote? Print out this complete list of Central Texas looters, and put it in your wallet, or post it inside a cupboard door, for when election day comes.
Travis County Commissioners:
Limitless taxers without a conscience.
