A couple of lines that TXDOT, Rick Perry, and those that push the TTC use over and over again are the following. These are not direct quotes but are darn close to it.
"We don't have the money to build the needed roads and if you think the federal governement is going to have the money you are wrong there to."
"There will be no tax dollars going into the building of this road."
Well, we all know this is a lie and the financial plans laid out by Cintra for TTC-35 clearly indicate that a significant portion of the funds to build TTC 35 will come in the form of federal highway loans. Well, here is more proof.
Here's a quick excerpt from an article I found. The article is dated March 13, 2008.
"Officials with the Spanish toll road operator Cintra have announced that the company has secured $430 million in loans from the U.S. government to build and operate two segments of a toll road in central Texas."
See the story below for more details.

The next time you hear RICK PERRY, TXDOT, or ANYONE, say that no tax dollars will go into building a road that we will then be forced to pay to drive on, you can and I encourage you to call BS.
This just burns me up to no end. Crooks and Liars...all of 'em.
