About time!

took long enough.

This just hit my inbox.

If so, then it’s a victory for American sovereignty.

It’s not dead. All they are doing is rerouting the program to sneak it in incrementally. Down the road we’ll all look up from our daily focus’ and notice it’s there.

Vios Con Dios!

Houston PING,

wonder how much the connected parties made off of this just pushing pencils on paper.

[Calpernia]

Those ‘smaller projects’ are components of the TTC. They did this to us in NJ. Don’t get fooled Texans.

[Calpernia]

BTTT

[dfwgator]

“Adios, MoFo!”

[freekitty]

Yep, that’s the main thing. What kind of money are we going to make off these scams.

[devane617]

If it is dead, that is great. But, sounds like they are trying to give a tamer name to the same mess.

[pikachu]

Coming next week now that the Trans-Texas corridor is dead, the ‘Across Texas Corridor’!

Actually it is just being renamed: "The expensive highway sections that will cause massive traffic problems in small towns inbetween the actual tollways"

Not very catchy, but eventually will be called "just build the damn road already"

Georgia DOT planned an expressway from downtown Atlanta to Stone Mountain and actually started condemning and razing properties in the Highland Avenue area. Legal challenges delayed the route for a while and the cleared area grew over with kudzu. When the Olympics came to Atlanta there was this messy vacant lot area that needed cleaning up so they turned it into a linear park with The Martin Luther King Jr. monument at one end and the Jimmy Carter Center at the other end. They tried to resurrect the expressway to tie the Carter Center out to Stone Mountain by saying it would be a parkway restricted to 35 mph. Locals dubbed it the Ex-Prez way and eventually stopped that with a ruing from the GA Supreme Court. As the years go by, one wonders how long it will be before the powers that be try again.

I hope the TTC never gets built. We just have to keep watch on the crooks in Austin.

[chuckles]

Cancer never dies! It just goes into remission. Just like gay marriage, gun control, tax hikes, alien amnesty, and communism, this stuff just keeps coming back.

The puss will fester and flow soon enough.

[Arrowhead1952]

That is what I am afraid of too - rename it something else.

Has anyone heard anything about the US 281 from SA to north TX being rebuilt as a tollway?

[dblshot]

They should call it the Ilegal Autopista and have all signs on it in Spanish.

Don’t let your guard down. Just like the Amnesty bill that was defeated twice, has not stopped the globalist crowd from getting their way.

Remember, we to them are the uneducated masses that know little of global and domestic affairs that will move us into the future.

TTC and the SPP may be dead, but in name only.

It will be back under various other titles.
