Over the course of the years, I have seen that much of the stuff Perry gets beat up for is stuff the he is forced to deal with.
NAFTA etc
He has always stayed on the side of the people.
He nixed the TTC due to public outcry and now Mexican truckers have free reign of all our roads due to NAFTA.
Po ol Perry got a bad rap, he tried to meet the letter of the law by making a TTC corridor.
I disagreed with a lot of it, Particularly jobs going to Cintra rather than Texans.
But now we have something worse.
I totally agree with you. People are still whining about the corridor but I thought it was a good plan.
We needed it. We didn’t have the money to build it. The feds wouldn’t help. Someone else offered to do it; they would have wanted to be repaid in the form of tolls.
But we would have had a fantastic and sorely needed road.
It was visionary, but people were whining about everything about it. They would lose a couple of acres of THEIR land.
They acted like this never happened. We wouldn’t have any roads, airports, railroads etc. without taking some private land here and there. The people are well compensated.
Oh, wait, why am I talking about this. Nobody cares.
