This is all the new norm of revenue generation...The state buys up as much land as possible gaining control over the rights of development and bingo leases out the land, existing facilities/utility services, right-of-ways, etc etc...

And boom, money in their hands to squander on other crap...

They'll make us feel like we are a part of the discussion and debate, and flim flam us from here to Christmas telling us this will be good for the economy, and commercial interests blah, blah, blah...

Still haven't seen one thing to support in any of this...

I submit it's the old norm. Walk through an airport lately, or a port? Remember the DPW fiasco?

Obviously, you must not drive much on I-35. Something needs to be done - hopefully if this is indeed the way it goes the state of Texas will negotiate smartly . . .

This road shouldn't even be on the table. Is there a shortage of tar and feathers in Texas these days?
