What they said...

Was - Stick 'em up!

The Dallas Morning News reports TXDot claims they need a billion here and 3 billion there to add to their ten billion.

They also favor the Private Partnerships that make toll roads owned by Spain.

Oh, and those roads the gas drillers tear up?  Well, they don't know how to fix that...

Read the entire article here.  Trust us, YOU can't afford not to.

TxDOT needs an additional $1 billion-a-year alone to shore up its maintenance budget, he said. And going forward, the agency will likely need another $3 billion-a-year infusion to its current $10 billion annual budget to “address congestion long-term with a sustainable method.”

Wilson also said something needs to be done to address the road damage associated with oil and gas development. Drilling a single well, he said, is equivalent to adding nearly 8 million cars to a road, and many rural roads aren’t built for that kind of traffic pressure.
“How do we figure that out and make sure we have good solid roads?” he said.
