If things turn out for the worst, hope the construction company contracts are going to make it real expensive to terminate. Sad dang days. Chin up.
“hope the construction company contracts are going to make it real expensive to terminate.”
That is one of the promising aspects of those 70 miles that just started construction. Contracts that are already underway, are the least likely to be halted.
Those that have not yet started construction, due to land acquisition not yet being complete , are definitely at risk.
I think it likely that a Biden Admin might immediately halt land acquisition in Texas, even if they don’t order an immediate stop work order on all contracts. They will likely ban any new contract awards.
They can still refer to the contracts underway as “built by Trump”, and let them run. (Of course, the press will back them up.) That is how Obama/Biden handled the Bush era border wall contracts, when they took over in 2009.
