Trans-Texas Corridor PING!
From Corridor Watch email (04/27/2007):
Krusee-FHWA hand grenade a dud.
CorridorWatch was first to report House Transportation Chairman Krusee had requested an opinion from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) specifically on HB1892. The resulting threat letter from FHWA through TxDOT appears to contain more pro private CDA rhetoric than legal substance.
CorridorWatch is offended by the overt attempt of a federal agency to exercise questionable influence over the state legislative process. It appears that it is their intent to dictate state policy.
Floor amendments adopted today fully resolve any potential issues, if they ever really existed. The grenade fizzled.
Some Beer distributor who paid RINO RICK 2K will be mad.
He bought a store in the middle of the state, next to a dry area, and wants the commerce. Just damn, this is Texas.
Great victory for the unions! Now we can get relief at twice the cost and twice the time. That fact will be buried in the two year study somewhere.
