“Cut their funding, they will listen.” Yes, but only after they gore every highly visible, urgently needed improvement. These guys always exact a severe price for budget cuts...it’s trench warfare at it’s finest!

"Cut their funding, they will listen"

The same could be said of, and it would make more sense to, cut the funding to the legislature.

This is about the legislature losing power of the purse to TxDot and and the RTAs(mini TxDots).

The Legislature doesn’t meet until ‘09. They can’t cut their funding unless they are in session, and Perry has to call them into special session. Not Likely.
