Ya'll sound defeatist why dont we just manage Txdot more efficiently, raise the gas tax a few cents, stop other state agencies from raiding the road tax and build some stinking roads like we used to?

Perry wants toll roads thats why he has allowed things to get so out of control. Its corruption and business/government glad handing at its worst, he scratches the toll roads corporations back and they scratch his. While everyone else in the state suffers because of his actions. Vote the bum out.

Instead of labeling everyone as "defeatist," why not get some facts like this link?
