“No funding has been allocated for what is expected to be a multi-billion dollar project.”
That’s not exactly true. More than $36 million has been spent on TTC-35 and millions more are being spent on TTC-69 today. No, it’s not for construction, but these DEIS hearings and the large TxDOT staffs and contractors working on the TTC are all costing Texans everyday. Add to that the $7 million advertising and PR campaign Keep Texas Moving that is trying very hard to sell us all on toll roads and private for-profit highway operators.
Trans-Texas Corridor PING!
God bless the good people of Rosenberg ... I used to do some of my grocery shopping there when I lived out in the boonies of Needville. But the way Houston has been sprawling, Needville may be a suburb by now.
Since TxDOT is going to ram it down our throats anyway, I’m tempted to sue to enjoin them from the waste of the taxpayer’s money on these hearings. There’s no reason to have hearings if you are going to ignore what the people say.

Texas voters need to lay it on the line. legislators must cut any and all funding relating to this TTC, or get voted out of office and replaced by people who will.
Between illegal immigration, the fence and the TTC, Texas is becoming the “battleground” state to prevent the destruction of America.
“The corridor divides families and splits Texas,” Dickey said.
Couldn’t have said it better!!!
You know its not just the money being spent on this traveling dog and pony show thats absurd...
If you go and look at the Texas Transportation Codem section 227 I believe...I could be wrong but all of the regulations and rules have already been written for all to see if you care to dive that deep into it...I know its there, but I believe I may have the section wrong...
Feel free to post the right number...No skin off my back...;-)
I get the feeling that if this goes to a vote (state wide referendum) the folks near the path of the TTC will be squashed by the vote from areas that will not be directly effected by this massive land grab...
Just my take on this...
