The University of Texas at Austin is intending on purchasing Player's and replacing it with a parking garage. Across the street, UT is purchasing the stripmall that includes IT Copy and Radio Shack. Apparently, we really need a hotel there.

IT Copy or Radio Shack- we care not about. The hotel could be a great thing for the campus. However, once they try to take away a Player's Combo with cheese and no tomatoes with a strawberry shake, The University has gone too far.

We will be developing this project over the summer with an intended August rollout. Suggestions or comments- we'd love to hear them.

eminent domain constitutional amendment

In light of the recent Kelo U.S. Supreme Court decision allowing governmental entities to use eminent domain for economic purpose, Texas State Representative Frank J. Corte Jr. has introduced HJR 19, a state constitutional amendment to prohibit the State from using eminent domain for economic gain.

In order for this to be passed at the Capitol, Governor Perry must allow this topic to be discussed during the special session. Contact his office and ask him to let our lawmakers discuss this important issue.

After contacting his office, contact your state representative and senator and ask them to pass this resolution so the people of the Texas can decide. Don't know who your representative or senator is? No problem. Find out here.

Arrrrrrrrrrgh.

Go here to get the names and contact info for UT's Board of Regents so you can voice you opinion on the matter.
