Trans-Texas Corridor PING!
I remember how Perry and his friends pushed the message “we need more and more transportation projects, and we’ll be able to easily pay for them so we should do it”. Now things have changed quite a bit...
1. Audit currently planned transportation projects. Any project that is not necessary to maintain the safety of vehicles and their passengers or to expand road capacity to handle the states growing population or to cut down on congestion should be eliminated.
2. This should go without saying but, transportation funds should ONLY be spent on road and highway projects, not diverted to any legislators pet project.
3. Index the Gas Tax to inflation. This is not a tax hike, it only maintains the inflation adjusted value of the levy.
