Unfair toll roads

Re: Oct. 16 Ben Wear column, “We voted on toll roads, kinda sorta”:
If we voted for the toll roads we are getting, as our Legislature and Gov. Rick Perry claim, why is it necessary for the Texas Department of Transportation to spend over a million dollars of our gas tax money on advertising to convince us that they are good for us? Let’s vote the bums out.
