TTC

On January 24th, at 6:30 pm, at the Rosenberg Civic Center, 3825 State Highway 36, TxDOT will make itself available to answer questions from the public on the I69/TransTexas Corridor project. This is a matter of public interest as not only will it affect your pocket book and environment, but it will bring in more goods from China that were originally to be made in Mexico under the NAFTA agreement and (according to many) it has great potential to attenuate our security.

Abstract. This article contains information about the TransTexas Corridor, NAFTA, toll roads, the North American Union, how it all came about and how if we ALL don’t work together to stop it, well….refer to the title.

Dateline, November 17, Austin, Texas as reported in the Houston Chronicle on the same date: TxDOT aims to tighten purse strings. Deficit may top $1.8 billion by fiscal 2012 with current slate of road projects.

Seems there’s a funding shortfall. Could we say poor financial management or foresight? I don’t know. I’m new to this. Maybe you’d know. But it seems big time cuts are coming. Now THIS I’ve heard before when my energy and efforts were focused on the state school system. It’s gone to hell in a hand basket and if you are one of the more than 60,000 families in Texas with a severely mentally, physically or mixed handicapped member, you and that member are pretty much on your own. However, roads have the ability to grow money, especially if our governor and president have their ways (and when have they not?)
