If they're worried about 2015, they're in a much better place than other states. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 10, 10:52 2
- I worry about Texas' budget overall. They made big cuts last year and still needed to use some stimulus money to plug gaps - ty97 Jul 10, 10:56 1
  - Sounds like TX is run like FL. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 10, 10:59
increase the debt limit! -- nm - znufrii Jul 10, 10:47
" One option is to raise vehicle registration fees by $50 a year" - Epiphany Jul 10, 10:42 3
- They could always raise the gas tax! *runs for cover* -- nm - Strongbad Jul 10, 10:53
- At the risk of being beaten my Pippy, doesn't that make sense? Cars use roads. Roads need money. Ergo, get more money from cars? -- nm - ty97 Jul 10, 10:50 1
  - *Everybody* uses roads, whether they own a car or not. Without transportation infrastructure businesses would wither - TWuG Jul 10, 11:23
Eliminated all roads in Texas - problem solved. -- nm - Rick Perry Jul 10, 10:42 4
- Wait a minute, maybe I will accept that Obamacare money -- nm - Rick Perry Jul 10, 10:52
- even better - eliminate Texas - problem solved! -- nm - Don Homer Jul 10, 10:42 2
  - Hey! -- nm - Epiphany Jul 10, 10:45

Well if they didn't want to approach things quickly, they shouldn't have developed their transportation in the first place -- nm - con_carne Jul 10, 10:41
