On repealing the gas tax

On Saturday, February 12, I participated in a candidate forum sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Collin County.

This is the third in a series of five videos in which I respond to questions from the attendees. Each candidate was given one minute to respond.

The question was “What measures would you propose and support to finance and regulate the Texas Dept. of Transportation? … Do you support local option? ‘The right of citizens to vote for a gas tax for transportation’ [Transportation within Collin Co. continues to be a major problem, especially in regard to mass transit. Outside of Plano, mass transit is lacking. There have been arguments for and against an independent taxing authority to address this issue. Where do you fall on this issue?]”
