County after county is voting it down, yet the contracts keep getting signed.
My fellow Texans, for the love of God, come November 7th we MUST send Perry packing.
We CANNOT allow a "Big Dig" scenario to fester in what is my opinion, the Greatest State in the Union.
DONT MESS WITH TEXAS!
Mexico can't make it as a nation, so they're 'integrating' with the US. Their terms, our dime. Talking heads on TV already discussing 'fixing' Mexico's education system because most of the illegals are functionally illiterate in any language. (Don't laugh, the teachers' union's probably drooling at the thought of moving to Mexico and giving the natives the benefit of all their expertise.) Now we're being told we're to fix Mexico's roads so the 'Trans-Texas Corridor' will run smoothly.
Thanks for generously bolding so I can tell what's important!
Hell, that's better than a "big dig", and the displacement of 1 million Texans so Perry can get his kickbacks.
dittos!!!
Hey, from what I understand, it seems a lot of agri businesses donated to Rick Perry in lobbying for NAIS too.
Maybe you all who are fighting the Trans-Texas Corridor may do well with combining your fight with a group such as:

Thanks Calpernia. I will check it out.
Thank you, thank you! Please keep in mind that the Mother Road ran primarily east - west, except for the Chicago-St Louee-Tulsa-OKC leg, where it had to go south to make the righthand turn to Texas!
None of this extra-curricular, extra-vehicular, nation-to-nation, north-south stuff, unh - uh.
So, just remember ... "If you ever plan to motor west ... travel my way ... take the highway that's the best ... get your kicks on Historic Route 66!"
From great lakes to shining sea!
Can anyone tell me why this was moved to "General Topics" instead of News/Activism?
I love the fact that, in the same week the public hearings begin, they dangle the '85 mph' carrot into the mix.
Mexican trucks going 85mph hrmmm.... no thanks, I would rather move bumper to bumper on I-35. ;-)

TRANSPORTATION CODE
CHAPTER 224. ACQUISITION, CONSTRUCTION, AND MAINTENANCE
SUBCHAPTER A. ACQUISITION GENERALLY
I really am begninng to loath anything having to do with Perry. That man is starting to become a Huey Long.
Isn't that where all nutwing conspiracy theories go?
Excerpt:
The Texas Transportation Department and private companies that it hired to build the Trans-Texas Corridor toll road sued Friday to keep part of their agreement confidential.
The toll road, proposed by Cintra-Zachry, would connect the Dallas-Fort Worth area to San Antonio, running roughly parallel to Interstate 35.
Cintra-Zachry contends that the release of financial and other information would give an advantage to competing companies for future projects.
The petition, filed in state district court in Travis County, seeks to overturn a ruling by Attorney General Greg Abbott this month that the documents should be public.
