The founder of TexasTollParty.com shines a light on the dark corners of special interest boondoggles: Double tax tolls and Trans Texas Corridor tax, toll & debt schemes.
My wife drove on tolled 45 because she was curious about the toll roads.
She knows my views on our toll roads but she drove anyway "just to see". She paid in cash but got confused and was forced through an electronic-only exit.
The toll authority sent her a bill for $1.20 and have now sent her another one for $1.00 for alleged late payment.
With mailing costs, that one extra exit cost her (us) almost two dollars. Sigh, I love my wife dearly so I resisted the temptation to say "I told you so" but I think she's somewhat more dubious of the toll system now.
I find the numbers provided by TakeOnTraffic.com really suspect. Their claims that Central Texas transportation spending needs to be $635 million/year is so ridiculous, I'm not sure how they can be taken seriously.
I'm curious what you know about TakeOnTraffic.com. Who are they really?
Thanks Jack

Hello Jack,
I'm putting a report together now about these crooks who push for tolling our tax paid roads and profit from the same scam!
I have NO IDEA why the gullable reporters eat up the garbage they serve up, and don't ask the simple question..."Do you or your profit from what you are advocating for?"
I'll be pulling the masks off them soon on the muckraker blog.
Sal, We were talking at the coffee pot this morning about the proposal to defer the Texas Tax thru the summer. I thought it was to our benefit but one of my friends introduced the thought that this was just another sign that the State was trying to get out of the Highway Business via Privatization. I don't think anyone would appose a tax reduction if offered but it did make me wonder about motives.

Bill,
FREEZING THE GAS TAX MAKES NO SENSE.
POLITICOS ARE CRYING THAT THE GAS TAX DOESN’T GET US ENOUGH MONEY FOR OUR ROADS, so much so that they are tolling freeways we’ve already paid for (a double tax!). And the same CORRUPT politicos profit from the tolls! Read about it here: http://salcostello.blogspot.com/
Freezing the gas tax gives them more excuses to toll roads we've already paid for. Let's not fall into that trap.
