Blocking the I-10 Toll Scheme: A Successful Citizen Movement (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781794741317)

On May 12, 2019, I was ready with a plan to fight the irresponsible I-10 toll scheme by Alabama's Governor and Department of Transportation. I started a Facebook group at no cost to organize the citizen opposition. We had one member - me. Within three months, we had gained 50,000 members. Not just names on a list. Active, e-mailing, snail-mailing, telephoning, meeting-going, friend-inviting, Facebook-promoting members. These citizen activists, most of them brand new to activism, fought and fought and -- WON. On Aug. 28, 2019, the toll scheme was pronounced dead. This book tells the story of how 50,000-plus citizens and I forced the toll scheme from an inevitable done deal to a dead deal. __Jim Zeigler, Alabama's State Auditor
