TxDOT Quietly Signs Road Privatization Deal

Like a defiant child stuffing candy into their mouth after being told that maybe they've had enough, TxDOT rushes to sign 50-year contracts that the legislature has begun calling into question. And, TxDOT has six more deals being lined up. SA Express Patrick Driscoll has the whole article HERE.

And the Statesman article has some good info on the subject as well:

"That contract is a done deal, and any errors in it will have to be fixed a half century from now," said Nichols, a former member of the Texas Transportation Commission. "It's a good example of why we just can't delay reform in this arena. You're trying to catch a runaway train."
