In the process of preparing to speak on TxDOT's funding shortages, I've been asked repeatedly about what the funding options are, and there are several. Each option comes with its own pros and cons. By sharing my notes with you, I'm not attempting to influence anyone's opinions, I simply want you to know what I know to be fact. Also, please keep in mind that the Texas Legislature will have to approve any changes in the way TxDOT is currently funded before those changes can be implemented. So, from my own notes, here are the funding options on the table, and what's potentially good and not-so-good about each one; Also: Lane closures possible this week near Henderson, Quitman and Bullard.
