Trans-Texas Corridor PING!
Seriously not trying to hijack this, but I've been saying this a while; we wouldn't need these new roads if we'd send all the illegals on a one way ride on a southbound road.
This looks to be the watershed moment in which I will, for the first time, NOT vote for a Republican, after over two decades of consistency. That honor will be due to Rick Perry, thanks to this whole pro-Mexico, trans-corridor mess. Just what we need, some super-artery to Mexico, when what we need is a FENCE. No, I plan to likely just leave the ballot for governor empty come this November (the other candidates seem too flakey). I'll support my Republican representative, though.
Lost in all of this is a little thing called eminent domain - the "Republican" leadership, in its race to privatize and turn all of the major roads into toll roads, doesn't bring up a dirty little fact - a lot of Texans are going to lose land one way or another, whether they want to or not, and it will end up in the hands of other private businesses.
So, finally, TXDOT admits who is really in charge of the Trash-Texas Conjob -- a foreign (non-U.S. and non-Texas) company!!!
