Still not seeing how the TTC was bad. It was nothing more than a state tendering an offer to have a turnpike constructed.

Which improves transportation without increasing the size and scope of the state’s DOT.

Cries of ‘imminent domain’ ring *VERY* hollow considering that the selfsame opponents who cry it are the same that cry *FOR* it regarding a border fence.

And unlike d@#n near every other politician, Perry - at least - *listened* to his constituents and stopped it when a fuss was raised. How many other politicians do you know that actually *DO* that?

Cintra (the company that Perry was using to build the highways...and then be allowed to charge as much as they wanted) charges 30 cents per mile in tolls (Canada 407 ETR). My wife and I drive 25,000 miles per year on highways. We DO NOT want to pay another $7,500 in TOLLS, beyond the state and federal gasoline tax.

But that was JUST FINE with Governor Perry.
