Strayhorn: Politician In Search Of A Parade

Yet another example that Carole Keeton McClellan Rylander Strayhorn is merely a politician in search of a parade:
Carole Keeton Strayhorn says if she’s elected governor, Texas 121 north of Grapevine won’t become a toll road.
“State highway 121 was originally planned as a freeway,†Strayhorn said Thursday afternoon during a joint news conference with Stop121Tolls.com, a group protesting at a business park on the frontage road.
And this sounds like one of Stan Marsh’s, “You Know, I Learned Something Today…” speeches from South Park:
“Tolling roads planned as freeways, and converting freeways into toll roads, is wrong. It’s double taxation,†she said. “We will ensure this road stays a freeway now and forever.â€
And, as usual with Strayhorn, there is lots of ballyhoo with little or no substance:
But the independent candidate declined to say how she’d go about reversing the decision by city and county officials across the Metroplex – collectively known as the Regional Transportation Council – to make Texas 121 a toll road.
Basically, Strayhorn is doing whatever she can to get in front of a TV camera after her poor 9 percent plus showing in recent polls.

Hence why you need to vote in LOCAL politicians who can do something about it. Namely, Amy Manuel for Denton County Commissioner.
