"Nothing's going to happen right now. Construction is not going to start.

Well, officially I69 construction (replacing US 59) has started, albeit, it doesn't appear to be the massive scope of the TTC (just normal Interstate size.) This is long needed on US 59, however, I can see how this could easily be shifted to larger scope TTC construction considering how much land has been cleared on either side in some places.

Other than people who are going to make big bucks off this thing, has there been a single meeting where the public approved?

Interesting. We keep being told by the open borders Freepers here that there is no such highway being built, yet there are hearings being held on it.

We need to keep pressure on the state reps and senators. some - Dan Patrick, for example - gets the point. such folk were able to put a 2 year “time out” on spending, but this mess ain’t stopped yet.

Rick Perry is the vomit spewed forth.

But, but, President Bush has told me that this whole thing is nothing more than a conspiracy theory pushed by wackos. He wouldn’t lie to me would he?

If we had a secure border, Mexico truck regulation and citizen involvement people might feel differently. Our governor has already decided and started without us though.

Another article about the Houston meeting on Feb 12th:

Houston Chronicle: State corridor hearing echoes small-town concerns

Tuesday's audience at a public hearing on the project numbered only 233, compared with more than 1,000 in tiny Bellville, but they were just as opposed to the idea.

When the hearing adjourned shortly after 9 p.m., not one of the 49 speakers was in favor of the plan.

Is this the road that is NOT the NAFTA Superhighway?

Just trying to stay on the same page with the Official Terminology.

You know, I never used to believe in the Trans Texas corridor conspiracy until I started reading the Illuminati news and found out this is just one part of the International Banker conspiracy to control the world.

And you know who is behind that, of course.

"KPRC Local 2 did not see anyone raise his or her hand in response."

Didn't think there would be any. Trans-Tex doesn't expect anyone to approve. They have to go through the motions of having public hearings and taking input. Doesn't matter what the input is. It isn't required that anyone should be in favor of it. Trucks and trains will run mainly through the plains regardless. It's a done deal. Be advised Trans-Tex is not asking permission for this. They are merely serving notice on what's coming down the pike - - literally.

We got the same treatment with Border XXI.

How many “Lemmings” were at the meeting? Don’t they know that once public hearings begin.....IT’S A DONE DEAL....THE FIX IS IN.....THE BIDS HAVE ALREADY BEEN RIGGED!

Public hearings don’t accomplish “squat” and are meant only to feed the “Lemmings” feel good stew.

Elected officials in favor of this boondoggle should have been thrown out of office when firs mention of this scheme to fatten the wallets of the fat cats and political hacks came to light. Now it’s too late...the Camel’s nose, head and shoulders are already under the tent and he has no intention of leaving.

“TxDOT spokeswoman Karen Othon said, “Nothing’s going to happen right now.”

Then stop spending money on this and tell us where the billion dollars TXDOT “lost” went!

Open Independent Audit of TXDOT now!
