No wonder the kooks so far seem to be avoiding this thread,

What seems strange is talking about posters that aren't there. Confrontational are We?

BTW: I have relatives who will be directly effected by the southern section of SH130. Does that make me a KOOK?

I'd had my fill of them spamming all the other TTC-related threads. Here's just a few recent examples of their handiwork.

Only if you decide to post all kinds of claims about President Bush secretly building roads to smuggle in illegal aliens and the Chinese military.

Are you sure that your relatives will actually be affected? I thought that the 800' (to at some points 1200') wide actual route hadn't been finalized from the 10-mile wide study area.

I don't know Texas's policy regarding the takings of private property and payment procedures. Hopefully they will at least be kept whole even though no one can replace memories/sentimental values etc.

I was invovled in a taking of property by the State of Louisiana for a roadway expansion a few years ago. It was my mom/dad's home in which I was raised. I left after high school and at the time of the state proceeding the property wasn't inhabitated. There were 52 acres of which the state wanted 35. I thought I was treated very fair as far as compensation.

One piece of advice: tell your relatives to do their homework as to staying abreast of the current prices of property in their area. That will probably be the factor that weighs the most in the final offers. I employed a lawyer and appraiser [reasonable cost] just to double check things.

Good luck to your kin.
