Texas Taxpayers Deserve Better

Texans believe in common-sense government: local control, fiscal responsibility, and accountability to the people—not bloated bureaucracies and wasteful spending.

But right now, billions in sales tax revenue are being funneled into top-heavy transportation systems with little oversight and even less return for many communities. Across the state, taxpayers are footing the bill for inefficient programs that don't reflect local needs.

That’s not conservative. That’s not efficient. And that’s not Texas

TELL SENATOR NICHOLS TO FIX THIS

Senator Robert Nichols has a powerful role in shaping the future of transportation spending in Texas. It’s time to demand smarter policies that put efficiency and local control first.

Tell Senator Nichols: Bring our tax dollars home. End wasteful spending. Empower Texas communities.

THE PROBLEM

  • Too many transportation dollars go to overhead and operations—not real improvements.

  • Local communities have little say in how their money is spent.

  • Taxpayers are subsidizing decisions made by distant bureaucracies with no accountability.

The result? Texans are paying more, getting less, and losing control over how their own money is used.

What texans deserve

Local Control: Communities should decide how their transportation dollars are used.

Transparency: Taxpayers deserve a clear accounting of where their money goes.

Accountability: Public agencies must deliver value, not just collect revenue.
