Trans-Texas Corridor PING!
Not sure what areas they are truly considering but I-35 isn’t a race track as it is with all the congestion. Secondly certain counties already have reduced speed limits due to the smog/pollution crap.
Ric & Rick are out of control...or under someone else’s control.
OK, this is insanity. Time to recall the politicians involved in this and if they are recall-proof, oppose them in the next election. It is like shortening the yellow light at camera-monitored intersections. Unacceptable. Unacceptable </Beldar>
What kind of a moron would sign a deal like that?
The disgusting manipulation of a gullible public by the Texas state government is both outrageous and disgraceful!!!
Lowering speed limits to try to force toll road usage and outright lying by Texas agencies, including Perry himself, should be enough to run Perry, TxDOT AND Cintas-Zachary out of the state!!!
Incidents like this are the reason that increasing numbers of American voters are convinced that our system of government is irretrievably broken. It remains to be seen when “We the people of the United States” end the debacle and take control of our country once again!!
"Hail, NO!!!!"
“free market competition was part of the goal of using a public-private partnerships””
Free market, LOL. It’s shared monopoly money.
RATS! Somebody beat me to the cuespookymusic keyword. DRAT!!
If there were xxxxxxxxx over this and I were on the jury, I’d vote not guilty.
This kind of stuff is going on all over in government. You just never find out about it. There is so much corruption.
Rick Perry is a amazingly stupid man. He has no talent and no skills so when he leaves office he needs all the connections he can get his hands on. So he pushes deals like this.
So in other words if the “state” and Cintra don’t make as much money as they want...The existing highways will be allowed to go into such disrepair as to effect the safety of the “free-road” public...
Hmmmm, I’m thinking a revolution is in order...Or just not pay taxes anymore till this idea is utterly destroyed...Unfortunately I’m going to have to see how deep my State Rep and State Senator are in this...If I can’t light a bonfire underneath them, this may have to get very interesting...
Enough is enough...
Today I got a “bill” in the mail, from TxDOT, with no explanation.
I called the 1-800 number on the bill, and was told that it was not a fine for running a toll booth or anything, but that there is a certain stretch of 121 whch is considered a toll road, even though there are no toll booths.
I wonder how many others have gotten this bill. It is outrageous to me.
I am going to get the spray for my license plate that makes it impossible for the cameras to photograph your license plate. It is invisible to the eye until a camera photographs your license plate (supposedly). It’s worth a try.
