Already tens of thousands strong, together, we can take back what is ours.

Toll Poll


* 1. No city in the country has ever shifted its freeways to tollways. Gov. Rick Perry's plan to toll Texas public highways is an open-ended new taxation that will amount to the largest tax increase in Texas history - likely to add more than $3,000 per family. On a scale of 1 to 5, where 5 is completely opposed and 1 is not opposed, how opposed are you to this new form of taxation?

* 2. State Comptroller Strayhorn did a 5 month long review of the first toll authority in Texas -- the one in Central Texas -- and she found double taxation, a lack of accountability, loose management practices, favoritism and self-enrichment as board members gave no bid contracts to their friends and themselves. Have you read her report, just heard about it or heard nothing at all about it?

Read it.
Just heard about it.
Heard nothing.
Comptroller Report


* 3. Have you heard anything about Gov. Perry’s Trans Texas Corridor?

Yes.
No.
Vaguely.


* 4. These are some of the facts about the Corridor: It is 4,000 miles of 10 lanes of toll roads that criss cross the state at a cost of $183 billion. It has rail, freight trains, oil, gas, water pipelines and electric utilities all in one Corridor far from metropolitan areas. Gov. Perry is having closed door negotiations with a company from Spain for a 50 year concession. And the state will take more than 1/2 million acres including some of the richest farmland in Texas called the “blacklands”. Given these facts, how important do you think it is that Texans have the right to vote on the Corridor?

Not Important.
Somewhat Important.
Very Important.
Extremely Important.


* 5. Comptroller Strayhorn is also saying that the conversions of our freeway systems to toll roads and the Trans Texas Corridor are examples of why Texans need the right to statewide initiative & referendum. This would give the voters the right to petition for a vote of the people. How important do you think it is for Texans to have the right to initiative & referendum?

Not important.
Somewhat important.
Very important.
Extremely.


* 6. Texas has open primaries so any voter can vote in either party primary. Regardless of who you vote for in November ‘06 for Governor, will you vote in the Republican primary in March ‘06 for Strayhorn to help us dump Perry?

Yes.
No.
I will consider it.
