Honestly I don't see how it is this state's job to keep track of how everyone is using our turnpikes and offer exemptions based on specific need or reason for travel. Where does it stop... if someone has an emergency, should they get their tolls exempted and be able to travel on the turnpikes for free... what about all funerals or funerals for others who have in some way served the state or our country... I mean the list could go on and on.

And yes I-44 is the quickest way from McKinney to Ft. Sill, but there are free roads as well if it is that big of an issue. Also I suspect that if not in this funeral there have been others who have traveled across Texas tollways before, such as the Dallas North Tollway. Is Texas offering exemptions? No.
