Neither will people in the panhandle or El Paso.

But you'll still pay the gas tax. And the registration tax. And the inspection fees. Ect...

And, for the last time you bleeding idiot, I would prefer a toll plan for just the reasons you state (if I don't drive on that road I don't pay for it) IF THEY WOULD REMOVE THE CURRENT LAYERED TAXING SCHEME WE ARE ALREADY USING.

You seem to WANT both. This makes you either a "player" in the game, or hopelessly stupid.

If you were to abolish the gas tax and rely solely on tolls, all the people that don't use the toll road would be getting a free ride.

The estimates of Cintra's initial investment in these projects that I've seen range from $7B to $12B. So let's call it $10B. That's $10B that Cintra is paying up front that otherwise would have to come from the pocket of the Texas taxpayer. Apart from those folks on this website that I've see advocating that their gas taxes be raised to cover it (a real head-scratcher), there is no other way to come up with that kind of money.
