Perry to call special session - TransTexas Corridor and Toll Roads at Risk--Again
This just in from TURF.

Perry calls special session to push sale of TX roads to foreign corporations!

Taxpayers' one victory, killing private toll contracts (CDAs), could be erased in special session


It shouldn't surprise anyone that Rick Perry wants to try and force the Legislature to continue to give his highway department the authority to sell-off Texas roads to private, foreign toll operators which will charge Texans 75 cents a mile to access PUBLIC roads. Perry has called a special session to start July 1, right when Texans are tuned out for 4th of July. We won't have much to celebrate on Independence Day if Perry succeeds in selling off TEXAS highways to SPAIN!


Snip

1. I'll write again. Thanks.
They are playing with fire to press this. Texans don't like to pay for driving.

3. As usual, the money trail ends in Goodhair's pocket.
