This was a set-up by Governor Perry - and she had every reason to be mad.

Governor Perry, here in Texas, has embarked on a demented scheme to convert all of our freeways into toll roads - at close to 20 cents per mile (do the math). This amounts to a huge tax grab, and I, for one, don't appreciate it.

I want to see him rot in Hell, and if it takes KBH to send him there, that's fine with me.

And, by the way, her Senate voting record is not that bad - there are a lot of worse Republicans.

I've been reading about this potential Perry/KBH contest for the governor's seat. For those not familiar with Texas, who would be a better choice of the two?

I also like KBH, as a women Sen., noone can hold a candle to her. She does not have to posture herself to the Middle or the Right as Hillary does, SHE is on the right. I like the fact that she put Bob Krueger out to pasture in 1992, even though he ran an anti-Bill Clinton campaign. She would make a Good Governor BUT I feel she could be more effective in the Senate with her experience and her committee appointments. Let Strayhorn be our next Female Governor. I love Texas Politics.

Why don't you find and post the Texas house and senate voting on the issue? The gov may be yukking it up for the Trans Texas Corridor, but the Texas legislature voted almost unanimously to approve the project....good or bad.

Worth a Texas ping Meek?

She is nothing more than a RINO. Just because we have several RINO's in Washington doesn't make it OK. Her best job would be "Retired" so that we can send a real Republican to Washington.

convert all of our [TX] freeways into toll roads

?? with all the miles of driving it takes to go from one place to another in Texas. You have my sympathy and I'm not being sarcastic. Perry is endangering your economy as goods and people movement are part of a healthy economy.

That is a complete flat out lie.

The truth is that most new freeway-standard(grade-separated divided highways) will be tollways, toll express lanes will be added to some existing freeways when they are expanded while the existing lanes remain free, but a couple of short segments in Austin that were planned as freeways will have their freeway lanes instead built as tolls while the frontage roads will remain free. Thus anyone will still be able to travel on the mainlanes for free the entire length of I-10, I-20, I-30, I-40, I-44, I-27, I-35, I-37, I-45, I-410, I-610, I-635, I-820, etc.

Stick to the facts instead of slandering.

Point to some resources so that we can look into that claim. I have not heard of Perry wanting to turn all roads into toll roads. I would like to know where you learned that.
