Fees and politics peddle doubt in Texas lobbying era
In this column a Texans reader argues that soft money and lobbying shape legislation, predicting new vehicle fees as a tax substitute. He cites Rep. Warren Chisum proposing a 50 horsepower or larger permit sticker to fund Houston and Dallas cleanup, predicts $188 million over four years, with $5 to $7 per vehicle. He contrasts Big Dig overruns in Boston and Virginia with Texas I-75 budgeting and warns readers to expect more fees as funding solutions.
