Tolls : More from Dumb Perryman
The ever stupid Ray Perryman has once again surfaced to pimp for toll roads and EOW has a great post up taking his statements apart. As always, Ray fails to mention that tolls and public/private partnerships are THE most expensive way of funding our transportation infrastructure. Who can blame him? His livelihood is in part dependent on toll roads.
One last thing Ray fails to mention in his horrible little op-ed piece... ROADS are needed to maintain and grow the economy in Texas. Whether they are toll-tax funded or gas tax funded is largely irrelevant, save for one fact. Tolls will take more out of the pockets of consumers than a gas tax. Which means that toll roads (like the TTC ) will actually TAKE money out of the economy that could be used by Texans for Texans.
Again, it's forgivable since Ray doesn't want to bite the hand that, in part, feeds him.
