On The Trans-Texas Corridor
Contrary to the Governor's claims, Texans have never voted on the Trans-Texas
Corridor. The TTC-69 could result in the taking of over 8,000 acres of private
land. Let the people vote on it, and we'll vote it down!
On The Widening Highway 146
TxDOT said there was no money for any such project to widen Hwy. 146, until John
Otto drew an opponent. Then, miraculously TxDOT found the money. So, my
campaign has already won something for the district and I haven't even gotten
elected yet!
On The Proliferation Of Toll Roads
I do not support the Governor and TxDOT's plans to convert freeways to
privatized toll roads. My opponent voted for toll proliferation.
On Political Reform in Texas
Arlan favors giving Texans
the right to statewide initiative and referendum, just as citizens in 24 states
have had for nearly a century. I&R gives the people the right to petition
for a vote of the people on legislation.
On Securing Our Borders
He supports protecting our borders against those who would violate our sovereignty, including terrorists and drug cartels.
On Your Gun Rights
As an avid sportsman, Arlan Foster will protect the citizens’ right to own and legally carry firearms.
On Texas Education
“I know that adequately funding our kids’ education is paramount,” Arlan says. “Texas schools are improving, but we have a long way to go.”
On Texas Prisons
Texas is #1 in state prisoner
population (171,790!), #1 in staff turn-over; (the state must recruit and train
600 to 700 new officers a month!) and reports a 22% attrition rate. At the same
time, Texas is
47th in pay starting at about $23,000 a year and topping out at a little over
$34,000 after 8 years service, putting our lives on the line in increasingly
dangerous crowded
conditions. This is one
of the best kept secrets of the current
administration.
A Decorated Millitary Veteran
Arlan joined the U.S. Navy in February 1972 and served four years, including three tours in Viet Nam with the U.S. amphibious forces. He received the Viet Nam Cross of Gallantry.
