"IMO, this was done to make people believe we need the new super HWs and toll roads when all we needed was an overall upgrade."

Bullseye! That's a favorite TXDOT scam/scare/aggravation tactic

I recently drove from DFW back to Hillsboro on I-35E. For miles, coming out of Dallas, there are (at least) two brand new (and, apparently usable) lanes running down the midle of 35, walled off with Jersey barriers and unused. The sense of being "hemmed in" and overcrowded is awful!

And, I did not see a single soul (much less a TXDOT employee) working on that entire unusable stretch of new roadway...

Like most liberals, Rick and Ricky, thrive on creating a feeling of discontent among the voters.

Perry and TXDOT do not want better highways for Texas. All they want is "revenue"!!!

I don’t quite get your reference to liberals. This issue isn’t about anything except money and control.

Super corridors will used to bring goods from India and China into Mexico, the US and Canada. That is the stated purpose in a federal draft environmental impact statement that I read for a portion of I-69 through Arkansas.

As for funding, US tax dollars will be funneled to private companies who will build and own the roads. Emminent domain will be used to take the land.

My concern is that, the more terms like liberal and conservative are used, the less people can see that we are in this together. It’s just about money. It will make the rich super rich. The big name political parties are both party to this.
