Dear Friends:
The passage of the bill was the result of a 30 year ongoing study. In fact, in my most recent survey I polled citizens on this matter. When asked, "Do you support the use of tolls to pay for new road projects?" 53.3% of citizens responded in the affirmative. To clarify, the bill that was passed only gives TDOT the authority to begin talking about toll roads. As of yet, no toll roads have been implented. Before the toll road or toll bridge could be implemented public hearings will be announced. So please keep an eye out! Please write to me at debra@debramaggart.com as I am working to open dialogue on this issue and your concerns and comments are very important to me. By no means, is this a done deal! This bill only allows TDOT to INVESTIGATE the possibility of toll roads. Also, please feel free to contact Sen. Diane Black a bout this matter as well. Her email is: sen.diane.black@legislature.state.tn.usAs always, it is a pleasure to serve to you.
Sincerely,Debra
