You like the rest of us certainly have the right to vote for who you want to. However I have no problem with info being kept under wraps until the contracts are signed. Most major contracts even in the feds are that way. You can't put the info out until the deal is done.

I prefer the private financing and not issuing bonds or raising gas taxes to fund these types of roads. Texas basically operates or did on a pay as you go system. I know I travel the roads of Texas a lot and they are constantly working a few mile stretch for a few years and when complete move on to another few miles. Totally frustrating for those that have to travel the roads daily or for a living.

At least there is an attempt at moving the state forward in its transportation system[s] to build for the future instead of having to play catch up all the time. It is innovative and will have some problems as most new concepts do. The design, needs, etc will change over the next 50 years thus the projects under this concept will also. With the huge volume of imports coming through this state and expected population growth there has to be something done to plan/provide for it. So far I see nothing from the opposition but complaints....

Well, not exactly nothing from the opposition. Carole Strayhorn talks about double-decking I-35, but I don't know how feasible that is.

Dude, we're talking about public monies and taxes, not a private contract.
