This is a SCAM that is occurring nation wide.
FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW:
-The toll road will be owned by FOREIGN a foreign company (This includes companies in China and the Middle East)?
-This is a NATIONAL SECURITY issue as verified by experts?
-Once this toll road is put in, many other toll roads will be initiated?
-The politicians that advocate such toll roads get kick backs from the companies collecting your MONEY?
-MOST of the information the citizens need to hear, is purposely NOT being told to them?
-You can trust the politicians to be honest with tax payers on tolls as much as you could with the Wall Street BAILOUTS, the WARS, the VA, etc.?
-Did you know you CAN STOP THIS AND HAVE THE ROAD CONSTRUCTION WITHOUT TOLLS?
-DID YOU KNOW THE MONEY IS THERE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT RIGHT NOW?
If you wish to contact the N.C. General Assembly regarding defunding the plan to build toll lanes on I-77 in the Lake Norman area a good place to start is the eight members of the Appropriations on Department of Transportation Committee. This is the Senate Committee, where the budget is currently. They meet Tuesdays. Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8:30 a.m. in 1027 LB. Here is that link.

We are getting ready to vote in the primaries. Any move to unseat McCrorey? Is there a better candidate? How about a write-in for Noah Tolles to send a message?
Please call or e-mail the following members of the Senate Transportation committee demanding to know “Why” they did not discuss the I-77 Toll contract in their meeting on Wednesday, June 8, 2016. Demand that they address this bill HB954 that passed the house which they received June6,2016. If they had discussed it and passed it to the Senate for a vote, we could have seen the cancellation of this contract before July 1, 2016.
