Trans-Texas Corridor PING!

[Paleo Conservative]

Anyone want to take bets that this bill never gets to the floor of either the House or Senate?

Pro TTC Ping!

This is a pro Trans-Texas Corridor ping list.

Please let me know by Freepmail if you want on or off the list.

I know that the Senate needs a 2/3ds vote of the senate to bring a bill up but not sure how it operates in the house or how a house bill is treated if passed and sent to the senate.

Lots of bills get introduced many of which die by never getting a hearing in committee. I note that so far this bill has no co-sponsors.

Tolls would range from about 15 cents a mile for cars to as much as 48 cents a mile for big trucks, which means the cost of a trip along the full length of the 370-mile toll road could cost from $56 to more than $216.

Tolls have a habit of rising. Law enforcement knows how to force trucks onto toll roads.

Just wondering,does this highway happen to south by any chance ???

strayhorn would have been a better governor than perry because she understands the fraud that cintra/zachry are perpetuating.

Yep and articles have a problem of stating correct info...

Note: 15 - 48 cents/mi ... = $56 to $216+ trip fee, 370 mi

370 * $0.48 = $177.60

Law enforcement knows how to force trucks onto toll roads.

And this is something any good democrat would support.

The cronies, Dem. or Repub., of the toll road operators, will work to maximize their return.

Correction

The bought and paid for DEM and REpub's will work to maximize their bosses profits, at the expense of the average Joe.

Hope they took note of the number of republican's voted out of office in Indiana.

Liebowitz told WOAI radio that the Trans-Texas Corridor would "destroy rural Texas as we know it."

LOL! Destroy rural Texas just like all the interstates have. From thirty thousand feet, I10, I20, I35, & I45 look like a thread in a vast undeveloped wasteland between the large cities. I am all for the Trans-Texas Corridor.

The TTC does go south; it also goes north.

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

Some are of the opinion that it is a step closer to a North American Union.

Just have a United States stretching from the Yucatan peninsula to the Queen Elizabeth Islands. flame suit.

BTTT

might be worth a Houston ping
