AUSTIN — The ceremony was brief and drew few mourners, but the Trans Texas Corridor is finally dead.
The Senate unanimously passed a bill that strikes from state law any language, reference and authority once connected to the massive highway envisioned to slice a swath through Texas.
The same measure already has passed the House. There are some minor differences that still need to be reconciled, but the bill is expected to go to Gov. Rick Perry, who will have to decide whether to join in the final rites for his once-prized project.
Legislators did keep a provision that was allowed under the authority of the Trans Texas Corridor: the potential of 85 mph speed limits on certain highways that are properly engineered to handle the higher speeds.
The highway corridor to parallel Interstate 35 had been a signature issue for Perry, but it was doomed after angry citizens rebelled against the private contracts, the massive proposed taking of private land and what was seen as arrogance by state transportation officials.
Perry said last year that the highway is dead, but lawmakers this year are determined to salt the earth.

Has he RENOUNCED HIS FORMER LIFE with a public apology, or are people just assuming he's repented?
Remember, you gotta' do more than just run under the Republican label. You must publicly repent in sackcloth, and pour ashes on your head shouting "Woe is Me".
Then there's the personal atonement through blood sacrifice.
Without all of it we have no business contemplating letting this guy run for President.
What is a favor for Rove and Bush?
Probably the one thing holding up the Corridor is the drug cartels in Mexico. If you were worried that pirates would be hijacking the trucks would you build/fund a new highway across Mexico to connect to the US?
Timeline of the Progress Toward a North American Union
November 13, 1979: While officially declaring his candidacy for U.S. President, Ronald Reagan proposes a “North American Agreement” which will produce “a North American continent in which the goods and people of the three countries will cross boundaries more freely.”
There is a slickness to him.
True. If we elect or allow the powers to be to elect another RINO we might as well bury ourselves.
I could think of a few more hearts that needs steaks through them...
The favor was building that highway and Bush and Rove want these routes crossing Nations’ borders as part of the formation of the North American Union. Perry was told it would facilitate free trade, but I don’t know how much he knows about the NAU plans.
The American globalists - all of them - plan to force the American, Canadian and Mexican people into a regional governing and monetary structure under the rule of the UN. The NAU will have no borders nor restrictions on travel.
That was also why we have such a push for socialized medicine. They want to begin “harmonizing” institutions, social programs and law among nations. That is why they think the constitution is no longer to be respected and applied to power in the US - because it is unique to the US and would block globalization’s “progress”.
What’s the solution?
We would defeat them with an intellectual, business, legal, political and social cabal as committed for the long term planning and inserting reform leglislation and directing spending to restore the Republic as persistently as the globalists have been in seeking their goal of global governance. We would need a public majority who understands what is going on and understands the danger of it to them and future generations and be comitted to fighting against it in power.
Given most Americans don’t even know what the constitution is or why it was designed the way it was (European history and American civics), we have not a snow ball’s chance in hell to stop them.
We can put up roadblocks like Texans did against Bush’s NAU international highway. Global control and taxation on energy use was to be put in place with the global warming laws and we blocked that. They got through the farming leglislation that places food production within the power of multi-national corporations - globalists.
I don’t trust any of them.
I know. Perry is a RINO. I wish people would quit concentrating on the RINOS and concentrate on conservatives. They are there.
That timeline was from a leftist web site. I was roundly bawled out by another FReeper for posting the article, too. I schlepped through the site and found such wondrous things as links to articles critical of free markets (how conservative of them).
I have no difficulties posting article directly from the United Nations, as you well know. That most certainly doesn’t indicate a willingness to support them one iota.
What I liked about his thread was that it shows just how far back this idea has been on the stove. There’s a lot of information within the links and the article that verify what we’ve been saying for ten years.
GMMAC gave up four years ago. I hope he didn’t live in Toronto because that place is just what he was screaming about.
