Group Seeks 500 Million Yearly For Texas Roads
The Texas Good Roads Association, a 2000 member group meeting in Austin, urged Gov. Briscoe and the legislature to add 500 million dollars annually to the state highway fund. The resolution also calls for inflation responsive tax rates and reallocating highway user taxes to meet a projected 11 billion dollar backlog and only 1.9 billion in 20 year construction revenues. The group argues current taxes are the lowest in the nation and warns existing funds are needed to maintain the system without upgrading obsolete roads and bridges.
