To those of you along the TTC-35 routes, I say that this is a sad day. You can be sure that TXDOT will move with lightning speed to develop and build as much of the TTC 35 corridor as they possibly can. Hopefully, during the process, we will be able to fight individual segments and come up with some small victories.
Rick Perry is your adversary. He is perfectly willing to sell you out to corporations in return for campaign contributions.
Mike Krusee is your adversary and sadly one of your own. He is perfectly willing to sell you out to corporations in return for campaign contributions.
Follow the money folks and learn the lessons. When Perry and Krusee disclose campaign contributions, make note of the construction industry and any firm involved in toll roads. Make note of how much they donate and how little it is in comparison to the amount of money they will make when they take your land and then charge you to drive across it. Keep in mind when looking at this dollar figure that this is what you were worth to Perry, Krusee, and company. You are standing in the way of their campaign contributions and they have sold you out.
My suggestion, if they take your land, make it part of the deal that you are not required to pay tolls on any road in Texas, ever again. Will you get it...no. Should you ask for it...YES!

EMAIL OVER 200 CAPITOL OFFICES with this one email address
Texans@TexasTollParty.com -
include your name, address and phone and subject heading and tell them to "VOTE DOWN SB 792 because it creates mini TxDOT's that will sell our freeways to private companies as toll roads and it contains 'market valuations' which equals the highest possible tolls".
