Toll Road Fight Brings Concerned Citizens

Dr. Ali answers questions from the audience.
Last night in Hollywood Park, my campaign hosted a town hall meeting for my neighbors in district 122 who are concerned that toll roads will ruin our community. Each person came with a clear idea that toll roads were not the best solution. Mr. Phelps gave an excellent introduction on behalf of the SA Toll Party. I spoke on how toll roads will lower property values and will cost everyday folks money just to get to work.


To me, the taxes we paid when we fuel our vehicles are being diverted away from what it's supposed to be used for. The gas tax is supposed to pay for our roads and highways, but it is being used for just about everything else. If we use these funds the way they are supposed to be used, we will have enough to not only build the much needed overpasses at 281 and Loop 1604 but for other roads throughout the state.


Toll roads are the easy way out for our legislators to find a new source of income to build these overpasses instead of admitting that our taxes have been misappropriated. I've learned this information from the SA Toll Party and TURF who I am grateful for. As you may know, Toll Roads are such an important issue to me, I invested in billboards for my Web site FightTollRoadsSA.com.
