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.

More rhetoric, hyperbole, double-speak and B-ravo S-ierra. Uncle Sugar is calling the shots so let’s get this thing rolling!

FHWA/DOT is not delivering the goods for Bush. First the Mexican truck delay and now this. Wonder if Johnny Sutton will be offered a position in transportation since he is the only one in Texas that is doing a good job in furthering the administration’s agenda
