Perry wants to stop diversion of state transportation funds
Matt JoyceStaff Writer- Dallas Business JournalEmail | Twitter | Google
Gov. Rick Perry is calling on the Texas Legislature to stop diverting transportation funds for unrelated state expenses in the upcoming session, citing the importance of infrastructure to the states economy.
Perry said during a visit to Irving this week that funds should not be diverted from Fund 6 for non-transportation related projects. Fund 6 is the state highway fund, made up of gas taxes, vehicle registration fees and federal reimbursements.
