Governor Perry - please don’t disappoint....can someone explain what has gone on here?
Why is Perry so hell-bent on getting this through? Grassroots movements appear to be our only chance of fighting these pompous, power-hungry politicians and getting our country and states back! God bless Texas!
Kudos to Texans for killing this taxpayer waste scheme.
The Nutty Globalists want taxpayers to fund their schemes...they do not want to put their own money behind it.
As much as people are praising Gov Perry for his recent “seperatist” stand...he still a Liberal Globalist....and thinks “world first” before thinking Texas or US first.
And, with this TTC being killed....it will make it easier for other states to kill such taxpayer-wasteful schemes
Also, the loss of soverignty from these schemes is something that should not be taken lightly
For those not from Texas, the idea of privately-funded toll roads sounds like a good idea on the surface. However, the plan for the “Trans Texas Corridor” was an enormous land grab. The plan involved handing eminent domain power to a Spanish corporation, and setting up a mile-wide right of way for the length of the state from Mexico to Oklahoma.
The other big failure in the plan was the plan to sell off existing, paid-for infrastructure to this same corporation.
I hope and pray that Governor Perry, a long-time RINO and former Dimocrat, will stay on the Conservative band-wagon that he has been riding since 0bama’s inauguration. He faces a challenge from the middle in Kay Bailey Hutchison, which will only serve to weaken the conservative movement in Texas.
Thanks for posting this sd64.
In San Antonio, the 75 cents a mile on some roads was not a happy prospect. Even when they floated forty cents a mile, I figured if I took I-10 and 1604 to Church on Sundays, it would’ve been almost 8 dollars each way.
