9.Why toll roads are important in 2010 election?

Most of the toll roads proposed for Bexar County and San Antonio are planned for the Texas House district 122. This portion of Bexar County reaches from Castle Hills all the way north to the Comal County line. Some noted areas such as Stone Oak, Shavano Park, and Hill Country Village will be affected. 

The current State Representative, Frank Corte (R-TX), is a big supporter of toll roads in his own district. Fortunately he is stepping down after 17 years of holding this seat. But former County Commissioner, Lyle Larson, hopes to take his Republican seat. Larson placed an appointee, Bob Thompson, who votes in favor of toll roads in the Alamo Regional Mobility Authority—the very organization in charge of the 281/1604 interchange.

Voting in Larson to represent 122 will bring toll roads to your neighborhood.
