Protect your pocket book

Urgent - Contact your representatives now and inform them you have no desire to pay any additional gasoline taxes.

"Legislation which would allow taxpayers to approve gas tax increases of up to 125% over several years is racing through the legislature. It’s called a local option transit bill but it includes gas tax indexing. Parts of the bill impact “only 115” counties – but that encompasses around 78% of the Texas population.

We say “NO” to this bill and want gas taxes going to roads and transportation. Currently 50% of the state tax dollars are diverted to other programs and a large portion of local transportation dollars fail to go to roads. First direct all the gas taxes to roads, then consider new revenue if necessary."
