What you're asking for

Four fixes. All up to the Legislature.

Lawmakers meet in Austin on January 12. We deliver every name to the signer's own legislators.

  1. Cap the price

    A hard limit, in state law.

  2. Open the books

    Show what they collect and keep.

  3. Price the buyout

    What would ending it early cost?

  4. Vote first

    No new deals without a vote.

Fair point: the deals also rebuilt the free lanes.1 That doesn't justify no limit for 35 years.

Convinced?

It takes 60 seconds.
