The Tao Of Tolls

The new toll roads in Texas were supposedly built to help fund the repair and creation of roads throughout state, but lately the only repairs I’ve seen are on roads that seemed fine before and the only new roads I’ve seen are the toll roads. Yes, they’re faster. Yes, they’re more convenient. But where is our money going?
Well, for the first few years the tolls being paid will go towards the funding of the already built toll roads. So, in other words, our money isn’t helping the state of Texas yet, and won’t be until the new toll roads have been completely funded.
For the first few months after being built, the roads were free to use at your leisure, and not because they wanted people to see the convenience and genius of the new freeways. The brief deterrent of tolls was a way lure drivers in and grow accustomed to the new faster route. I left my house everyday 35 minutes before work for over a year before the freeways were constructed, and continued to do so afterwards as well. I was already used to leaving my house early, so why would I need to change anything?
Why aren’t more people fighting this? Officials supporting the toll roads know that after a while people will just learn to accept it and move on with their lives. That’s what’s wrong. We should not just take this sitting down. Here’s a fun fact for you: did you know that the toll roads were built months ahead of schedule and they were millions of dollars under budget afterwards? So, where is our money going again?
