A gas tax of one or two cents a gallon is less harsh on the jobless or those barely making a living wage. Let the wealthy find another way to make more money than in a way that is detrimental to the less fortunate. Let’s help these people with the American dream.

Increasing the gas tax a penny or two a gallon will be less harsh on the people of low paying jobs than a daily toll fee to a job or jobs. Stop helping the rich get richer and help those who are not so fortunate. Let’s help these people with the American dream.

Yes, it’s time for citizens to take back out government, both local, state, and federal. Any changes in roads or other infrastructure items that we citizens pay for should be voted on.
We need accountability as well as results on what our tax money funds.

Hello. You know we don’t really have a sense of what Mike Levy is doing relative to the Mayor’s race, nor how one would get him to run. The last we heard anything about it was in October. If you hear anything, let us know. And, frankly, we have no idea how one gets Levy to do anything he doesn’t otherwise want to do. Linda for ChangeAustin.org

Thank goodness SOMEONE out there is willing to start a forum that will keep the Austin public informed about some of the (slimy) backroom politics going on regarding Austin TOLL roads that NOBODY gets to vote on. Sal Costello fought the TOLL establishment as long as he could, but I think they finally wore him down. Just know that your group will have LOTS of support from disenfranchised voters all over Austin (and surrounding areas)… and I think you’re right that the only way to change the current “bulldozer” tactics of the city council is to change the city council.
Do you think Michael Levy could be convinced to run for mayor??
