Rick Perry and the Texas Department of Transportation for continuing to sell out North Texas drivers to toll-road lobbyists.

Gov. Rick Perry – vetoing much needed funding for our community colleges and their professors will be a significant detriment to the ability of our area students who must pursue their higher education in our community colleges. I attended a certificate program at Collin College this year and witnessed firsthand how important these schools are to our future. Shame upon Mr. Perry for his false economy.

Let's give the most negative award to our local and state politicians, who increased our taxes at a record rate through property tax increases, stop-light cameras and new toll roads.
