Tolls : For anyone waffling on the TIP
Via EOW comes word that of the public comments received to date, 75% have been anti-toll. Just a little something interesting for those of you about to vote on a massive infrastructure project this evening. The decision you make could potentially saddle us with BILLIONS in new taxes for the next 50 years and do little to alleviate the traffic problems we have now.
Don't focus on how regressive the gas tax is. What you're thinking about doing is FAR more regressive as the tolls are more expensive and will effect us all.
We're counting on you to do the right thing and tell TXDoT that their plan for Central Texas is unacceptable. I'm not going to lie, what we're asking you to do is not only kill this plan, but develop a better one. Neither will be easy. However, if you're the leaders you claim to be, it's exactly what you have to do.
