SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 415
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
welcome the coalition of civic-minded Texans gathering in Austin
on March 23, 2015, to discuss transportation policy on Toll-Free
Texas Day at the State Capitol; and
WHEREAS, In a combined effort, the dedicated members of
three associations are advocating for the construction of new
roads that will not require drivers to pay tolls; and
WHEREAS, Members of Texans Uniting for Reform and Freedom,
the Eagle Forum, and Grassroots America-We the People are coming
together to engage in discussion and debate and to represent
their views as part of the process by which public policy is
developed; and
WHEREAS, Each of these groups has successfully advocated
for goals that its members support, and they have empowered
countless citizens to speak out on issues of vital importance;
they have worked closely with state and national policy groups,
think tanks, and conservative groups across the country; and
WHEREAS, The continued prosperity of the Lone Star State
depends on an effective transportation system, and concerned
citizens have a vital role to play in the discussions surrounding
this matter; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th
Legislature, hereby recognize March 23, 2015, as Toll-Free Texas
Day at the State Capitol and commend all those involved for their
civic engagement.
