Not only that, but the owners of the toll companies are not American, did you know that?

So what? I'd rather have comany that is experienced in running and building toll roads in charge rather than a local company that lacks experience or competence. The TTC is intended to be not just a world class project but a world leading project. The engineering firm in charge needs to be world class in this field.

We were on a toll road in Houston that went to Hobby. I thought it was 59 but maybe it was Hardy. It was smooth sailing, but expensive. But, maybe a good thing would come of it in that most of the people on the tolls are probably insured, and may even be better drivers.

Zachery (sp?)(a SA based company) is currently building 183-A, ahead of schedule and under budget. I realize there will be some interaction between them and Cintas but, that foreign component doesn't set well with most Texans.
