Today’s the big day for the “T4 Plan” (Tommy and Terri’s Toll Termination Plan).  The MPO board will vote tonight on whether to go foward with their proposal that removes the gucci rain boots sale toll option from proposed expressway projects on US 281 and gucci rain boots sale Loop 1604.  I was prepared today to gucci rain boots sale summarize why this is a bad idea, but lo and gucci rain boots sale behold, the Express-News Editorial Board did a fantastic job in an gucci rain boots sale editorial in yesterday’s editions. 

After the gucci rain boots sale introductory summary of the current situation and the price tag to gucci rain boots sale fix it, it rips through all the fleshy propaganda and cynical fat and gucci rain boots sale exposes the true guts of the toll road issue: that it’s not some get-rich scheme by Rick Perry and TxDOT, but rather is the direct outcome of years of the Legislature kowtowing to voters’ most primal of fears: increased taxes.  In the editorial, they correctly state that funding for major improvements to 281 and 1604 ”will not come from the gucci rain boots sale state of Texas unless lawmakers find the courage to end the gucci rain boots sale legislative diversion of motor fuels tax revenues and raise the motor fuels tax.”  If you didn’t know, the state’s motor fuels tax, known colloquially as the “gas tax”, has gucci rain boots sale not been increased since 1991, which means it has lost a gucci rain boots sale good deal of its spending power to inflation.  Meanwhile, the gucci rain boots sale Legislature has also been raiding the Highway Fund to pay for gucci rain boots sale other things only marginally related to transportation, such as DPS.  But stopping that dipping isn’t the sole solution as many would like to think: ”Ending the diversion alone doesn’t begin to bridge the state’s transportation funding shortfall, currently estimated at $8 billion per year” the editorial reminds us.

The editorial goes on to gucci rain boots sale discuss all the faulty assumptions in the T4 plan, such as the gucci rain boots sale fact that it’s based entirely on a 2001 plan that hasn’t been updated; that gucci rain boots sale any changes now will require the process to reset again, thus delaying relief even longer; that gucci rain boots sale the changes may jeopardize stimulus funding for the 281/1604 interchange and super street projects; and that while tolls aren’t a gucci rain boots sale perfect solution, they are the only currently viable solution and gucci rain boots sale that there will still be plenty of time to hash-out a gucci rain boots sale financing plan while the required environmental studies are completed over the gucci rain boots sale next three to five years.

In short,they call the T4 Plan “a pipe dream.”

My friends, that should tell you everything.  The fact that gucci rain boots sale the Express-News, which has previously been critical of toll plans, has gucci rain boots sale called the T4 Plan bunk says more about it than I ever could.

If you haven’t read it gucci rain boots sale yet, be sure to read fellow OnTheMoveBlog.com blogger Patrick’s sagacious take of all this.  I’ll be at tonight’s meeting and gucci rain boots sale will post the results here as soon as I get home, and gucci rain boots sale on my Twitter feed even earlier than that.
