AG Greg Abbott,

TxDOT's new Comprehensive Development Agreements (CDAs) are the Gov. Perry/Krusee tool created to hold back public disclosure, public debate, legislative oversight, open and transparent government and local control. The short history of the CDAs, often related to the privatization and tolling of our public highways and the Trans Texas Corridor, have already proven to be rife with secrecy.

1) Attorney General opinion states Cintra must release CDA to Houston Chronicle: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metropolitan/3212402.html

2) Cintra sues Texas Attorney General to keep CDA a secret!!!:

3) San Antonio Lightning acquires CDA and Cintra threatens another lawsuit: http://www.sanantoniolightning.com/snitchzach.html

“CDA’s will reduce the cost that you all - will have to bear”.
– A statement by Phillip Russell, Director of TxDOT's Turnpike divisions
as he addressed the Jan 17th audience full of private corporations.

CDA's are NO BID, secret contracts that give away our tax dollars, land and our property to private corporations.
CDA's are nothing but a tool used for corporate welfare.

I ask that you investigate this violation of public trust, or step aside and we'll get someone else to do it.
