Florida’s Turnpike is a toll road that we have had for decades. It works well and is good for tourism and transportation. Why is Texas having such heartburn over a toll-road?.................
First, because they want to destroy rural Texas in a major land grab. Second, because it’s a Spanish company (as in Spain) that will own / profit from the toll road, not the State. Third, the only reason for the Trans Texas Corridor is to transport Chinese products from Mexico to Canada. It has nothing to do with what the State needs and all to do with lining some peoples pockets, none of which reside in rural Texas.
Texas already has custom built toll roads. The governments wants to convert existing free roads into foreign own toll roads.
Simply because our tolls will be 30 cents or more per mile. Check out what Cintra is charging for their road in Canada.
