With the population of Texas increasing by 1,000 people a day, “we as a state don’t really feel like we have an option to shelve projects or sit on our hands as the problems with the highway trust fund loom larger and come closer on the horizon,” said Christopher Lippincott, a Texas Transportation Department spokesman.
Thanks for the ping.
Did you notice that Lippincott avoids the obvious in his statement - why the population of Texas is increasing by 1,000 people a day - could it be illegals? Solve that problem and the highway trust fund will probably be adequate as it is.
‘No mas’ illegals! ‘No mas’ amnesty! ‘No mas’ toll roads.
Secure our borders now!
