From Aus Chron today:

AGAINST TOLL ROADS - FROM OUT OF STATE

Dear Editor:

I live in Las Vegas and have been contemplating a move to Austin. Southern California has been taking over this area and I was looking for a place where the politicians were not always looking for more ways to spend, and levy more taxes and fees. Now I see they are in Austin, too. Not only do you get to pay for the roads in your land taxes and gas taxes, but now I see they want you to pay again to drive on your best roads. Just remember that one toll road becomes two and then four and more. A small toll grows and grows forever. I wish you luck in your fight to keep Austin and the rest of Texas as free from as much spending and taxing as possible.

someone just posted this in an old article:

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "The country's first freeway tolling authority chair, Robert Tesch, files for ANOTHER bankruptcy.":

And in addition to the numerous other incidents of corruption, on a positive note the Texas Workforce Commission just concluded that Mr Tesch (http://www.ctrma.org/staff.php) defaulted on his obligation to pay wages to the 30 plus employees of The Inn at Orchard Park (formerly owned by Mr Tesch)until he let it go into foreclosure and lost it. His employees continued to work up until the last day and Mr Tesch had refused to pay wages.
