Trans-Texas Corridor PING!

[Jedidah]

Stinking Rick Perry is vulnerable on this, because he thumbed his nose at us.

I will not forgive him for it.

However, I will vote for him, because we cannot have the governor or the legislature in Dem hands, not in a redistricting year.

Feds killed the TTC-35 http://texasturf.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=900&Itemid=2, but with no help from Perry.

“Houston trial lawyer Steve Mostyn “

Trial lawyers want to own the State of Texas again... they are buying a Governorship, pouring millions to defeat Perry.

God willing, they will lose and Texas will win.

Yes, that is accurate. The Record Of Decision is pretty final in that TXDOT can't use their shoddy joke of an EIS for the Corridor or anything else for that matter - including that Texas "T-Bone" high-speed rail train bunch. They have made some noises about sponging off of the same EIS for their super choo-choo train. Not happening now.

 

TXDOT is hung up on a bunch of multi-modal concepts in their "Strategic Plan", so they're not done yet with the stupidity and bears watching. The upcoming legislature should be interesting.

I doubt that the money is there to even consider building TTC anymore, and no one wants a foreign company running our toll roads, so it’s a dead issue.

[TheThinker]

If the trend holds, I’d say Perry will be just like Charlie Christ very soon.

[OrangeHoof]

Oh, but it’s unfair for corporations to donate money for advertising campaigns yet trial liars are perfectly permitted to drop $2 million to skew a campaign.

[hadaclueonce]

I think Rick made enough money with his land flip with brother, Troy Frazier R-Horseshoe Bay, to forget about the TTC.

That ad is sooo yesterday.

Although there’s no reason to try and reflect, we remember vividly.

This is the AAS talking--they've probably been working on this article for quite a while. As the election gets closer, we'll probably see a lot more of this sort of reporting.

I'm certainly not a big Perry fan--he's right on some things--and terribly wrong on a lot of others. Of course, I will vote for him---there's no other choice for me.

I'm always taken aback when some individual will drop millions of his own money into a campaign, though---what's in it for them? I'm assuming there's a way that they know they will get a return on their investment--whether their candidate wins or loses.

[TexasRepublic]

As much as I hate some of the shi’ite that Perry has pulled, I despise the Dims so much worse.

That is Bill White Money spent very well...

A (relatively) dead issue that has been dealt with as best we can from the party opposite of this abomination of a land grab...
