Is it just my imagination or have you done a complete 180 on this issue? Seems to me you were against this at first.
I was. I attended two of the meetings, and wrote my legislator. After receiving the response, and researching the bills, it became very clear to me that the planted (and paid!) opposition that showed up each time has an agenda that is not in the best interest of Texas. Since each of the large metropolitan areas have bought into the concept in principle without mounting any sort of legal challenge, it seems that there is more cooperation and consideration than the opposition claims. Seriously, consider setting up a 30 minute phone call or meeting with your state representative or better yet write them a letter outlining your concerns. If done in a polite and sincere manner, you will get a response. Attend your next county commissioners meeting. You may be surprised at how far they are going to defend the rights of Texans, while still planning for the economic growth of Texas.
