North Texas Tollway Authority cracking down on non-paying drivers
What happens in a rental car is that the rental agency sends your tolls to an agency that bills you the original toll plus anywhere from 5 to 25 dollars PER TOLL TRANSACTION. So if you travel down 121 in it full length right now, with some rental car agencies (like the one that "tries harder"), it will cost you over 100 dollars.
Many out of town vistors have been scammed by this system and no new convention center hotel is going to bring them back to Dallas any time soon.

Texas Governor Rick Perry vetoes TV recycling bill
Who manufactures TVs in Texas and why should they pay to recycle TVs they did not make? And why would they not just close up shop and move elsewhere? This was just a feel good bill designed to make liberals feel good about themselves.
There are already electronics recycling programs available. This bill does nothing to compel the consumer, who is responsible for their own TV, to use these resources.

Dallas needs around $80 million in federal funds for streetcar system
20 million a mile, what a colossal waste of money. We are talking 4 to 5 miles of track. That's nothing, a street car to nowhere. And of course it wont pay for its own operating cost either.

Texas Rangers bringing back red uniforms
Its all about merchandising. They will swap back and fourth between red and blue as long as it means more apparel sells.



Time to pay up if you're late on toll fees, says TxDOT
Good to see that TxDOT is keeping up with those crazy advances in technology. I was afraid I was going to have to post a telegram.
