Hopefully the last Trans-Texas Corridor PING!
It’s dead Jim.
W00H00!
I am happy for Texas residents if this is truly kaput.
I guess the loons will have to be happy with the Build-A-Burgers.
Great news! And, just in time to kill it as an election issue.
So much for all those jobs for illegals.
I still think the bullet trains were a great idea. I guess it’s nothing but Southwest cattle calls and endless traffic jams on I-35 for Texas from now on.
What a pity.
All our hard work finally paid off!
What it takes, mostly, is for people to get up off their -- couches -- and let the PTB that "We ain't gonna put up with your (censored to maintain FR decorum) -- and we ain't backin' down!!!!!
FYI
Time a wake, to celebrate.

HOOOO—BOY! I Like that! I’m so tired of the tax and spend idiots, the toll road loonies, the “light rail” fanatics (who once they arrive by rail, still don’t have a way around). TXDOT had a SURPLUS once (haven’t checked lately) but they are addicted to our money so it’s a constant battle while they poor-mouth us to death.
Ain’t life grand??
We can only hope it is dead for good.
They could be just changing the name, the route, etc...
and coming in the back door while no one is looking, the way they usually work.
I’m very happy about this! I hope it’s dead forever!
Thank you, Texas farmers and ranchers, for defending property rights from this hugely expensive boondoggle that would have benefited the politically connected and the Spanish construction company.
The governor and the good ol’boys of the legislature couldn’t stand up to that great old challenge from Goliad’s patriots, “Come and Take It!”
We need to be very careful...
Senator Corona has been very public about his desiring to reasurrect this abomination in 2011...
I’m ust amazed it took so long for the legislative branch and the governor to take a hint from about 95% of Texans about this issue...
The TTC is dead. Long live I-69!
I-69 was to be the Interstate portion of the TTC. It was also the only part that made sense and has any purpose outside of Texas. Now that the TTC is gone, the I-69 project can get moving.
Be careful when it comes to allowing tolls.
Two weeks ago, I was in NY for my niece’s Bat Mitzvah... I stayed with my step-mother up in Yonkers, and my sister and her family live in NJ, just outside of Hoboken. In order to get there, we have to go over two bridges: The Henry Hudson and the GW bridge (or take a tunnel). Because she has one of those electronic “passes” we just had to slow down for the tolls, so I had no idea how expensive it was...
Because she uses that electronic gadget, and usually goes out there during “off-peak” times, the round trip cost to visit her daughter is... you won’t believe this... $12 in tolls! That’s right! $3 each way for the HH bridge, as well as a $6 toll into NY from NJ!
