Environmentalist activists and political opponents demagogue against necessary transportation infrastructure for a state exploding with commerce and population.
Comptroller Carole Keeton McClellan Rylander Strayhorn [self-identified as, "Grandma"], currently adrift on signature collection waters in her bid for Independent Gubernatorial validity, has been a fixture at CW.org events, railing prodigiously (yet without substance) against the TTC, and the very concept of toll roads. But herein arises a consistent theme when discussing Madame Comptroller; her inconsistency. Because prior to her decision to run against the TTC-proposing Governor Rick Perry, she too saw the meritoriousness of the concept of consumption road funding.
You’ve got your rose colored glasses on and it’s going to come back to bite you unless Perry simply finishes his implosion (which I think he will) then it won’t come out anyway.
