In Texas’ case, the *private* builder/operator meant foreign owned. Thus a major sticking point.

Putting aside TxDOT's (and Perry's) love affair with foreign companies, given the crap with the red light cameras and some companies playing around with the timing in order to make a few bucks, I really don't trust the lowest bidders (or any of them) to not end up screwing Texans over.

At least when it's done by TxDOT, in theory, we have somebody that we can hold responsible.

A private company on the other hand - they decide to cut corners or raise the tolls, what are we going to do, boycott them? Like some European company is going to care if we complain.
