Thanks for writing in, Mr. Sampson.
Improving our states infrastructure so it can meet future demands is a crucial issue, one which Greg Abbott believes must be better addressed. Greg Abbott supports a “pay as you go” model where funding for roads comes from taxes and fees already collected, like fuel taxes and vehicle registration. He also believes that the taxes collected for roads should be used for roads. We should stop current diversions that siphon revenue away from the state highway fund that is then spent in other areas of the state budget.
Please see Greg Abbott’s transportation finance recommendations in Working Texans, starting on page 12: http://abbotttownhall.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/GregAbbottsWorkingTexansPlan.pdf
