Bob Dacy, with his report Highway Robbery, exposes abrand new TxDOT document called “Forward Momentum”,
a formal TxDOT wish list for Congress to allow existing tax
funded interstates, such as I35, to be shifted to tollways.
Within the “Forward Momentum” publication (cover shown above), TxDOT asks Congress to allow “states to buy back or reimburse the federal government for its share of federal investment in interstate segments” so states can place a toll on tax funded roads originally built with a prohibition against tolling them.
TxDOT also asks Congress to exempt private investors in toll-road schemes from federal income taxation.

Stopping the NAFTA/SHAFTA highway from Canada to Mejico begins with blocking TxDOT's plan to have US finance interstate highways... Interstate highways which, after being built with taxpayer money over the years, will be stolen from the taxpayers and then (to add insult to injury) rented back to those same taxpayers in the form of tolls.
Where's the bucket of tar and those sacks of feathers? Angry mob, anyone?
