I don’t know if you recall, but when these toll road stories first started getting posted, I was a supporter, in principle, of new toll roads. Ric Williamson and his puppet Rick Perry have managed to change my mind.

If the two of them keep working hard enough on the project, they may be able to deliver the governor’s office to the democrats.

Houston PING

Hasn’t Harris County been refinancing (borrowing more money) against the toll roads? They will never be paid off and the guy in charge of it now has given many contradictory answers as to “why” it won’t happen (including that he wasn’t there when they originally said IT WOULD be opened to the public free at a future date).

Houston’s shell game is nothing to celebrate.

I am glad to read that Texas towns are working together against the TransTexasCorridor. I hope Texas stops this huge “corridor” connecting Mexico and Canada.

Oh, I forgot it is supposed to be an internet rumor! Canamex probably isn’t supposed to be real either, but it’s being built! Hopefully other states will oppose the corridors planned for them.

It's a politically powerful idea, playing on the popular notion that the private sector is always more efficient than the public sector.

Then, why do we need government?
