The tide turned with the TTC.
The corruption in that boondoggle poisoned the well for a long time to come.

Governor Perry was COMPLETELY CONTROLLED by toll road interests. If the media hadn’t been covering for him, I’m convinced he would have gone to jail (or at least some of his people). TTC, for others, stood for the “Trans-Texas Corridor”, and it was basically an overlay of private toll roads throughout Texas. Of course with our Interstates being freeways, it couldn’t work, so Perry’s henchmen took it to the ‘next level’ and worked on getting tolling imposed on our existing freeways. Needless to say, that left a bad taste in the mouths of most Texans - but then again, most Texans didn’t pay attention when this crap was being rammed through our rubber-stamp legislature.
Nice to see it dead, and then some, though!
