Press Conference to challenge TxDot on tolls

Tuesday, September 4th at 2 p.m. TxDOT's pursuit of tolling existing interstates and toll advertising campaign ignites lawmakers and brings out the Truth Squad

San Antonio, TX - It's not just citizens who are fed-up with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), so are lawmakers. TxDOT has crossed the line on a number of fronts in recent weeks, and elected representatives are prepared to fight.

TxDOT repeatedly claimed it wouldn't toll existing roads then lobbies Congress to do just that. It also opines it's perpetually under-funded yet spends $9 million in taxpayer money to "sell" the public tolls and the Trans Texas Corridor.

It's past time to set the record the straight and seek justice for the taxpayers. Just days ago, Bexar County Commissioner Lyle Larson said dealing with TxDOT is "like dealing with a snake oil salesman."
