New Tax on Texans— Ric Williamson, appointed by Rick Perry to govern TxDOT 1. DOUBLE TAX TOLLS, shifting already paid for freeways to tollways, creates an open-ended new tax that will amount to the largest tax increase in Texas history. Rick Perry's "innovative finance" plan/mandate takes ALL existing Texas highway projects that are fully funded, some on the verge of completion, and turns them into toll roads at the last minute. An unelected, unaccountable new bureaucracy will set the toll rates - for us to drive on freeways we've already paid for - a Double Tax! – Transportation Commission's chair Ric Williamson, appointed by Gov. Rick Perry to govern TxDOT 2. RICK PERRY'S TRANS TEXAS CORRIDOR will seize hundreds of thousands of acres from Texans, so corporations can reap billions in profits. This land has sustained generations of Texas families while contributing to our tax structure. 4,000 miles of 10 lanes of toll roads will criss cross the state, in quarter mile Corridors far from any metropolitan area. It will kill small towns and cities across Texas because there are few exits. Travelers will use the gas stations, restaurants, and motels built within the toll corridor. The TTC will cost more than $183 Billion dollars. Gov. Perry is having secret negations with a foreign company to hold a 50 year concession.
administration and the biggest land grab in history." – Carole Keeton Strayhorn, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts How did this happen? We have allowed our government and their special interests friends to run amok. Both Republicans and Democrats are working with us and against us. This is not a partisan issue, but a corrupt politicians' issue. All Texans must work together and vote the person - not the party. Tens of thousands of Texans have already joined us. Send one email to all local and Texas wide looters - tell them you OPPOSE our public freeways being tolled as well as the TTC land grab |
