Pickett: Lawmakers will not boost transportation funding this year

The top two transportation leaders in the Texas Legislature said Wednesday that Texans simply must pay more for their highways and bridges, but both added that this coming session is most likely not the time to ask them do it.Both men, a Republican and Democrat, said the funding system for the Texas Department of Transportation is badly in need of an overhaul, and needs billions in new funding. But it's going to probably take more than one session to convince lawmakers to make motorists pay
up, both men said.
