Bexar County Commissioner Lyle Larson and State Sen. Jeff Wentworth, R-San Antonio, are among those pushing Texas lawmakers to cease diverting dollars from the state highway fund to pay for non-highway-related programs. Supporters of the plan say it would save more money for highway construction and cut down on the need for controversial toll roads. Critics say it could negatively impact important programs like tourism promotion and medical transportation for the needy that currently depend on highway funding appropriations.
