"where do i sign the petition?"

Tell the Austin people!! If they would just do the math, we could solve this problem once and for all.

But I really think that there is a (legitimate) concern about being labeled as tax increasers, simply because they raise the gas tax enough to cover for 15 years of inflation and non-highway diversions. There are a lot of Republicans that will slam any increase in any taxes (even if it's for a true need), no matter what. I think they're as much of the problem as anyone on this issue. They need to step up to the problem and help solve it, rather than making a bunch of European investors rich, at our expense.
