Representative Kolkhorst has fought hard for what we want. She's taken a lot of heat for it. We need to support her. Call, fax, or email her office and let them know you support her efforts to keep Amendment 13 on SB792.

Win or lose on this corridor battle, Representative Kolkhorst is a shining example of a representative who listens to constituents and represents their concerns in Austin, without fail.
As an example...
During debate in the house on SB792, representative Kolkhorst was facing challenges from folks on an amendment she offered. The amendment would have put limitations on the buyback calculations for these private toll roads. Krusee and company argued that it was unfair to private companies to apply her limitations. Her response was "I'm trying to get the best deal for the State of Texas."
AMEN to that Rep. Kolkhort!
That one sentence sums up our whole argument against these corporate roads. People, legislators, need to quit worrying about getting the best deal for private companies and start worry about what is best for Texas. Thank you Representative Kolkhorst.
I said earlier that those who failed to represent us will be named. Along that same line, we need to take our time to thank those who have provided the representation we demand. Representative Kolkhort has lead the charge and we all owe her a sincere thanks after this is all said or done...win or lose! Take the time to express your thanks to her.
She has represented all Texans, not just her constituents.
