Barton said. In addition to low
ering income tax rates across
the board. Barton said he wants
to eliminate the estate tax.
Although the government is
spending more to fight the war
on terrorism. Barton said the
increased revenue generated by
a growing economy will head
off budget deficits.
One of the district’s most
pressing problems is inadequate
transportation infrastructure,
and Barton said he would ask to
be placed on the transportation
committee, where he will be in
a strong position to fight for
central Texas’ fair share of

needs a four lane divided high
way linking it to major traffic
hubs, and alternative routes are
needed in the Austin area to
relieve the congestion on
Interstate 35, Barton said.

College Station for only four
