It doesn't matter. These people who are opposed to international trade, or even the existence of any foreigners at all, will latch on to any excuse to oppose anything like this.

They're xenophobic protectionists and no amount of reasoning with them will change a thing.

They can't be satisfied.

They're peeing their pants about a ROAD.

These morons would oppose the discovery a new HARBOR.

I spent a small amount of time looking into this, and if I am reading it correctly, the Texas AG told C-Z to hand over the details of the contract, and convinced a judge to order C-Z to comply or file a lawsuit. Looks like C-Z filed a lawsuit.

C-Z had argued to the judge that there are details to the contract that are not yet finalized, and other details should not be disclosed in order to protect trade secrets, but the judge (basically) said "tell it to another judge." I have no idea what C-Z is arguing in its current filings.

This is hardly prima facie evidence of a conspiracy. It's a 1.3 billion dollar deal, for chrissakes.

In my case, you are 'way off base. I am not opposed to international trade. But unlike you Left Coast immigrants, my chunk of Texas was awarded by the Republic of Texas to my ancestor for service at the battle of San Jacinto, when Texians kicked Santa Ana's murdering @$$ -- and those of his hired assassins -- out of Texas.

It should not surprise you that my neighbors (those on the surrounding "leagues and labors" [look it up] of land) and I do not look kindly upon an under-the-table scheme to take our families' lands and hand them over to a profiteering company -- foreign or not.

We Texans have fought for the right to our "xenophobic protectionism". If you don't like it -- leave!
