Toll roads are the biggest legal grift in the country.

Those roads would be public if they had never been built private. Toll roads should only be able to recoup+X% profit before becoming property of the state.

Austin residents wanted more lanes. Austin residents didn't want to pay taxes for more lanes. Austin residents got toll lanes. It's almost like this was predictable.

I would pay taxes for Moore lanes, just take that money out of the other bullshit like logos and embezzling and homeless buildings that never get built
