Regarding your link to the mis-info on the so called change in financing:

First, it is a 320 mil LOW INTEREST LOAN. As a percent of the total project, that is a small amount. A loan HAS TO BE REPAID.

Since you and your little blogger are trying to obscure, we have to assume that this is the TIFIA loan that has been thrown up and shot down before. As such, should not Texas be entitled to the same as othere states?

For those that want to know, follow the link below, and scrioll thru the table of contents looking for "TIFIA"

A loan HAS TO BE REPAID.

Or defaulted upon as the borrower declares bankruptcy.

My blogger? WTH are you talking about? I am an individual citizen with no affiliations with any of these groups. But I can damn sure tell you that the whole thing stinks. Yes, the loan has to be repaid, but again, you blur the reality...it will be repaid with future tolls, so to say that it will not ultimately be paid with tax dollars is downright sneaky and there ain't nothin' I hate worse than a sneak or a liar. Entitled? Sorry, but they are not entitled to hornswaggle me into paying taxes on a road I have already paid for. If these pro-toll road people were honest, they'd be more forthcoming and quit pulling sleight of hand tricks on the details and doing backroom deals. This whole thing reminds me of the AlamoGroan...ummm...I mean...the Alamo Dome deal.
