The person who Perry put in power to run the state department of transportation (thankfully dead now) had just been a lobbyist for Cintra, the Spanish company looking to make hundreds of billions of dollars (over the decades) on this scheme. There was some other revolving door stuff like that. The major newspapers here didn’t seem to have a problem at all with it...it was surreal. They normally go after Republicans, but they’ve protected him like I’ve never seen for a Republican.

I just found out in the past few days that a foreign company that partners with Cintra went and bought over 40 local newspapers up and down the main proposed TTC route.

That sent a chill down my spine, and it explained a lot of things.

Makes PERFECT sense, they’re a dime a dozen and a PERFECT way to Astroturf (i.e., make it look like locals are supporting it, in this case).
