Logic so straight forward even hedgetrimmer could understand it (unless she's a blond).
>>> Contention: The state will use eminent domain to take private land.
Reality: Under any scenario, the state will need to purchase land to build more roads.....<<<
LOL
Reality: Read my post #28

In 1996 the Center for Transportation Research released their final report which recommended the multi-modal corridor.
This is years before Perry took office.
"Now that we have established that Perry didn't conceive of the corridor, you are saying that you don't like the way it is being implemented." |
I'm sure you would like "people to frame their thoughts" based on info from hedgetrimmer and Stall.
"people can frame their own thoughts" |
Trans-Texas Corridor PING!
I also appended this article to a previous TTC post.
Thanks for the ping.
I'm sure you would like "people to frame their thoughts" based on info from hedgetrimmer and Stall.
The President signed this deal with the PM of Canada and Vicente Fox - at their Cancun meeting.
It isn't just Texas - it will continue on to the Canadian border - with Kansas City being the "Customs" stop for shipments direct from Mexico deep water ports to Kansas City. Shipments will branch out over the country from this point.
Walla!! Welcome to the North American Union where the Amero will be the common currency.
Doesn't anybody care that our country will be changed FOREVER and we have nothing to say about it?
But, we in So. California know about some of these vehicles and the amount of smog they put out not to mention bad brakes, etc., etc.
As I understand it, that customs facility will be only for traffic bound for Mexico.
The Trans-Texas Corridor will be the first leg of what has been dubbed the NAFTA Super Highway to go through heartland America all the way to Canada. This would be a major lifeline of the plan to merge the United States into a North American Community.
Plans are already locked in for Kansas City Southern de Mexico Railroad to bring Chinese goods in sealed cargo containers from the southern Mexican port of Lazaro Cardinas direct to Kansas City, Missouri. Mexican trucks will be able to drive more sealed containers up the fast lanes of the NAFTA Super Highway, inspected only electronically if at all, and making their first customs stop in Kansas City.
Some additional input from the Yuma Sun

Following are a few paragraphs you will find of interest.
Take special note of the last one concerning Hutchison
Plans to build a large shipping port at Punta Colonet, Baja Calif. about 130 miles south of Tijuana could mean that a new rail line would run through Yuma to quickly move cargo from the port to the interior of the United States.
There have been discussions with landowners in the area about property acquisition, but the details, and whether the line will actually be built, remain up in the air.
The line would be used to send containers by rail from the Pacific Coast through Mexico and then north to Yuma to tie into the current Union Pacific tracks that run through the city. A right-of-way agent has been speaking to government and private industry in Yuma about the proposed line to the dismay of some in the agriculture industry.
The agent declined to comment for the story, directing questions to Chris Peterson, the Union Pacific director of government affairs.
Peterson declined to comment on the use of eminent domain.
Union Pacific has been working on preliminary studies for several months, but the idea itself is relatively new. Peterson said there is a high demand for freight rail service and Union Pacific is hiring across its entire system.
The company has about 1200 employees in Arizona, with about 100 in Yuma. Peterson said the creation of the line would mean more jobs in this area, but it is far too early to even consider a timeline.
The new port in Mexico and recent expansions to the Ensenada port, which is 60 miles south of Tijuana, are a response to congestion involved in getting shipments in and out of the extremely busy American ports in southern California. An interview request made to Hutchison Port Holdings, which operates Ensenada and has discussed developing Punta Colonet, was not returned.
NOTE: Does Hutchison-Whampoa ring a bell? They are the
ones screening our cargo coming in on the east
coast. Remember the following:

I don't know if this little ditty was mentioned or not but, when these *foreign* companies begin construction, they will bring in employees from all over the world. You think there's a lot of illegals in this country now!
How simple would it be for terrorist to get a free ride into the US in the form of a nice construction job? Especially, a company in a country who would rather 'appease' than fight!
