While there is no such thing as a free road, we should not be charged additional fees to travel on certain highways within our state. The Naysayer will argue that over half of the revenue generated from our turnpikes comes from commercial vehicles from out of state. This statement is simply a lie. I challenge each of you to be more observant and aware of how we are taxed. We live in country that I am certainly thankful for. We have freedoms like no other place on the planet. But with freedom comes responsibility and Oklahoma is not being responsible with its taxpayers money. It is time we as individuals stand up and let lawmakers know we won

Updates

September 17, 2004

I have spent this week drafting formal letters to the members of the Transportation Committee regarding the misuse of turnpike revenue. This data will be presented to their offices to challenge the current fiscal reporting. Further updates will follow once I receive official responses to these inquiries.

September 17, 2004

The current level of engagement has prompted a request from a statehouse reporter for a formal statement on the policy. I am currently drafting a letter that outlines our specific legislative objections to turnpike financing. This documentation will be delivered to the relevant transportation committee members by the end of the week.

There is reason to have anymore roads leading to nowhere running through our towns and city displacing, animals, people and families from there homes. Another interest is ludicrous! $900 dollars to put in another road when the state says the can't afford to fix the roads we have know! That money needs to go to our schools, existing roads, businesses, and state in genetal! Think of us Oklahomans and not the ones who come through it!

Fix the roads we already have instead of building new ones just to collect more tolls. Total joke.

Ridiculous how much we pay in taxes and then get hit with these fees on top of it. Stop the greedy expansion and give us a break.

SO TIRED OF PAYING TO DRIVE ON ROADS THAT ARE ALREADY PAVED. Where does the money actually go? Cause it sure aint the potholes on highway 69.

My husband drives a truck and he says the same thing. Its just another way for the state to squeeze blood from a stone. Done with it.

Enough with these tolls every 10 miles. It costs me a fortune just to get to work and back. Fix the regular roads first like you promised.
