That funding, though, was only a temporary fix. Efforts to increase taxes on the companies that are profiting from the energy boom to cover the road repair costs failed to gain traction. TxDOT said repairing and maintaining the oil field roads into the future will cost about $1 billion a year in additional funding."

I suppose that the lower speeds will net plenty of violation income and then maybe they can pave the roads again......

the rules for running in an election are the same as for eligibility for voting,
which the prospective candidate has already done in that district. Maybe if he was white.....

More of this lame crap to come, unless these people get shoved out of the way.

Maybe they should "Stand Their Ground" and start shooting the folks that are tearing up the road.

This is what happens when people who obviously are the bigots they adamantly insist they are not come into power. They try to bury their true identity in a cloud of denial. But that turd just will not flush, no matter how hard they try. They can't help themselves, they will always try to sneak this garbage through every chance they get.
