Despite the overwhelming opposition to the TxDOT toll road plan (thumbs down by over a ten to one majority), Mayor Will Winn and others have decided to offer what they are calling a ''compromise'' solution that would give TxDOT the green light to toll every single roadway in the plan.
This is no compromise. It is a sell out to special interests at our expense. They still plan to toll the William Cannon overpass.
Don't be fooled by this ''compromise.'' It's a lot of doubletalk aimed at doubletax.
There's more. Despite conservative estimates of more than a thousand citizens showing up to the Joe Thompson conference center (26th @ Red River), CAMPO has not reserved the large auditorium next door at the LBJ Library to accommodate everyone. Plans are afoot by the minority toll road special interest groups to fill the small auditorium early to keep us out and our opposition unheard.
WE CANNOT LET THIS HAPPEN
SHOW UP at the CAMPO meeting by 5:30 tonight to get a seat inside. Let our elected officials know that WE WILL NOT BE IGNORED.
