Sen. Florence Shapiro: No fee increase for TxDOT till it 'gets its house in order'

Sen. Florence Shapiro, R-Plano , said Sunday morning that she will not support a plan floated last week by Sen. Tommy Williams that would raise vehicle registration fees by as much as $50 a year to provide more money to build highways in Texas.
"TxDOT is in pretty bad shape," said Shapiro, who was a guest on Channel 8's political roundtable this morning with WFAA reporter Brett Shipp and Dallas Morning News political writer Gromer Jeffers. "There is a sincere lack of trust and there are many legislators who want to see them get their house in order first."
