I think it's clear that we will pay tolls to use this new highway, unless you know of some other plan for paying Cintra.



True..... You misunderstood my other statement... I was trying to indicate that I'm not sure if ppl will pay tolls to travel the roads.... That is what I meant by it's undetermined at this stage... Or unless you know how people will react several years out in the future. I don't.

Companies invest money every day in ventures hoping to make a profit... Some succeed and many fail. Cintra is an international tollway operate but maybe they don't know what they are doing. Tollways exist in proximity to free roads today. Beltway 8 just a few miles outside of Loop 610 as an example. GHWBush Turnpike along side 635.

Executed contracts have clauses and will be adjucated if not honored no matter who is the Gov.

I assume you mean "people" by "ppl", if so I could not for the life of me see any other way this road will operate (maybe the state paying the tolls, but I seriously, seriously doubt it). We're hosed.

"Executed contracts have clauses and will be adjudicated if not honored no matter who is the Gov."

My concern is not that the contract is adjudicated correctly, rather it is what's in the contract in the first place. Subway couldn't even get anyone to open a franchise without some type of protection - what will be Cintra's?
