I ask that you review your current plans to toll preexisting roads, as you will lose the faith of me, my family, and many in the community itself to protect our rights as citizens. Do not let the greed of filling your pockets deter you from coming up with a more viable solution to the current traffic situation in Austin. <BR/><BR/>One of the greatest gifts we are given as Americans is the freedom to choose. If you take that freedom from us, then you take everything the country has been fighting for all of these years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
