[3:36] What "motivations lying at its root" are you talking about, s? In the post you say that TXDOT "want[s] this project badly for reasons that are best left up to debate" and that Perry sees the TCC project as "his great legacy to the State of Texas." There is nothing particularly nefarious there. You may say that your post doesn't address "whether roads in rural areas are good," but from the tone of your post it is pretty clear that are lined up against expansion if it costs rural Texans their land.

You had her followed, photographed, and than you publicized her licsense plate and where she parks? That is some sleazy shit. If you have evidence of wrongdoing than pursue it with the proper authorities, otherwise you are just a creepy stalker. If she is attacked I would hope the police come to you first. I am no fan of the TTC, but you are a pretty pathetic representative of the anti-TTC position.

Mr. 39% is a crook. He seeks to take and toll our freeways and push forward his unpopular TTC land grab. Sal "The Muckraker" Costello salcostello dot blogspot dot com

Goddamnit! It's the 21st century. Where are my flying cars? How 'bout you work on that James Richard Perry?

as far as the sweeping question of "whether roads in rural areas are good," ...that's definitely a great question, but it's also one that's outside the scope of this post. this post addresses the issue of whether the TTC, as currently proposed, should be allowed to proceed given the motivations lying at its root. it also discusses the possible political ramifications of Perry's move, for both himself and for the GOP. your thoughts, political junkies?

Wow. The austinist should really read itself sometimes. From www.austinist.com/archives/2007/04/16/urban_development_news_redonkeykong.php "Highways out in the country make some amount of sense. Highways in the middle of a city destroy the urban fabric and increase traffic. We don't want to see farmers get their land taken for the TTC, but we really don't want 2,351 businesses; 166 schools, churches and government buildings; eight parks; and 11 cemeteries to have their land taken to expand I-35." TTC or expanded I-35, which does the austinist want? P.S. If Wal-Mart posted a blog like this the rg4n would call it a threat.
