"Because Texas will make certian that free highways are not passable. Simply ending maintenance should do it."

"LOL Politicians in Texas can't be that stupid. Can they?"

If I recall correctly, the toll road operators sued California to keep them from doing maintenance on any free highways that might compete with the toll roads. I think they won. Cintra is not our friend, and neither is Gov RINO.

I think that lawsuit had to do with the non-compete clause for the private SR-91 express lanes. It so screwed up the chances for improvements to SR-91 itself that California was compelled to buy the express lanes from the private owners.
