Mayor Saleh declared the motion carried.
Mayor Pro Tern Miller recommended to the audience, if they were letter writers
that on Item No. 2, they write to their federal elected officials and possibly the
�.. President. There are Texas legislators in Washington, D.C., trying to get at least
a 90% return back to the state of Texas on the fuel tax which we pay which is
supposed to go towards roads. Typically, we have only received about 70% of
every dollar we put in. We should get 100%, but hopefully we'll get 90%.
