Texas government in a nut shell is "BULLY". Texas is really all about business not the people that live here. For years Texas have been planning and preparing for the big business, but they have failed miserably at it; as far as the amount of people it would attract here. We have a huge population problem with over priced housing, traffic problems and Texas is double charging the people through tollways. Texas, especially Austin, is forcing people to give their blood and now I read about Texas taking newborn blood samples and using them however they choose. How pathetic is that? And, then hide behind federal law. http://www.kxan.com/dpp/health/government-taking-newborn-dna-samples
DWI is a sad sacrifice of life to make because someone is irresponsible and selfish, but forcing someone to give their blood as evidence is quite radical. Everyone has a right to some privacy and until proven guilty, your blood by withdrawal is crazy. There was a time they had to wait until you left a napkin or used glass or something to use your DNA or blood to convict you. This is over the top bullying. Texas is interpreting the law the way they want.

The Texas tollways are already paid with tax dollars and they want us to pay again. How dare they recharge for such a thing and another thing they have rigged up the road where you can easily end up on the tollway without knowing it. The signs are very tricky, I have made it a point to figure them out to avoid them. I would rather sit in two hour traffic than to repay for a road that the city has mismanaged. http://www.news8austin.com/content/top_stories/Default.asp?ArID=106596&addvid=21728
These are just small examples of the bullying Texas will do to get its way.
