I think Ryan is right, they both do it. Republicans like to raise fees and then claim they don't raise taxes.
Just curious when the last time the city was run by republican/conservatives?!

Just gotta look at state level for the Republican examples
Example 1: Toll roads

Example 2: registration stickers
Look, I massively hate democrat idiot leaders, but bad Republicans are a problem as well.

And Texas has vastly expanded the use of toll roads in the past 20 years. I can't think of a new highway that was built that wasn't a toll road. The woodlands even has a freaking off ramps off the interstate that is a toll.

While I agree, I don't have to use a toll road, while inconvenient at times, it is still a choice and not required.

True, we don't have to. But I will say I think I'll get shoved out of a moving car by my wife if I try to go from Katy to Tomball using the toll-free route again.

Do they still charge the "Rebuild Houston" fee for square foot of impervious area? It was a fee for the City to start paying cash for infrastructure improvements. I remember that turned into a racket as well.
