"Free roads are an illusion."

I'm not familiar with anyone asking for "Free" roads. What we're asking for is equitable treatment. Why should people who need to use limited access highways have to pay 22 cents per mile (gas tax and Cintra's toll), when people clogging up surface streets get by with paying 2 cents per mile (gas tax only)?

There are a lot of questions when the governor is permitted to go into a back room and negotiate a $7.2 Billion deal, without any input either from the legislature or the voters. That may not bother some people, but it scare the heck out of me.

Hopefully Kay will hand Perry his head in next year's Primary.

If all the state money is being spent on maintaining and widening existing roads, then the really big new projects can't be built with state money. Nobody is being forced onto toll roads in this state.

Nobody likes tolls but nobody likes taxes, either. Yet most of us like new modern roads. You have to pick your poison.
