THEY MAKE A PROFIT by making you pay a toll for roads you've already paid for. For example: Jim Knight from Bury & Partners would rather do the engineering and surveying for roads that might take 10-15 years within a much shorter period of time - 4-6 years. His greed prevents him from caring about families that can't afford to pay $1,000's of dollars a year for roads they've already paid for.
HOW IT WORKS: RECA gets what they want (even when 93% of the public feedback opposes the double tax and toll plan): RECA helps get candidates elected, then once the candidate is a money junkie like Mayor Will Wynn, RECA pulls the money junkie strings and tells Wynn that they helped get him elected, and if he wants a money fix for the next election, he'll have to ignore the public, ignore affordability and vote for the Double Taxation Toll Plan. And Mayor monkey does it.
TRICKING AUSTIN VOTERS: This is how The Toll Lobby (Real Estate Council of Austin) laundered money in the last city council election. They bundle their money (see dates) and launder their contributions by giving it to the Police PAC - to trick voters into thinking their city council Toll candidates (Knaupe, Dunkerly & Leffingwell) are endorsed by the Police. Most people think the campaign materials and signs come from the trustworthy police officers. NO, it comes from the snakes. Note how the contributions also don't follow the $100 City of Austin limit law. The current lawsuit: http://www.keathmilligan.net/view.php?id=615
