TURF to testify before State Affairs Committee on TxDOT’s illegal ad campaign

Austin, TX - TURF will address the House State Affairs Committee studying the issue of state funds used to advertise government programs at the Capitol July 18 to demonstrate that TxDOT has made an unprecedented push to win public approval for its controversial toll road and Trans Texas Corridor project through its Keep Texas Moving Campaign.

The purpose of the hearing is for the House State Affairs Committee to:
Study the issue of using state funds to advertise government programs and
services to discern if taxpayer dollars are being spent appropriately, and
to consider legislation that will ensure that these dollars are not spent
to coerce, but rather to benefit, the public through honest educative
efforts.

TURF on behalf of Texas taxpayers
Presentation revealing evidence from TURF lawsuit that demonstrates the purpose of TxDOT’s ad campaign is political/coercive - to win public approval for tolling and the Trans Texas Corridor and is NOT a legal, legitimate public information/education campaign

Friday, July 18th @ 10 a.m.@ Texas State Capitol, Room E1.010, Capitol Extension, 1400 Congress Avenue, Austin, TX.
