Technicall - yes, I stand corrected.

I do think that if you asked 100 people what Williamson meant when he said that all highways will have tolls, 99 of them would have assumed tolls ONLY, not the option of "free" lanes.

By the way, the California project (SH 91), that is the basis for the Katy project, now costs $0.70 per mile during peak drive times, not to mention the other nightmares associated with it.

On last comment: Note that the Katy project does not, as of yet, involve of sellout of the corridor to a private company. That is a big difference.

I'm not keen on the idea of selling out the corridor to a private company, either, although I have little doubt that private enterprise could build the project faster and for less money than government.

I have no problem with them getting a fair return on their investment, but it should only be a fair return and then the project should be returned to the state on behalf of the citizens who live here.
