BREAKING NEWS:

Bill restricting private toll roads heads to Perry

House Bill 1892, which would restrict private toll road contracts in a variety of ways, heads to Gov. Perry's desk after passing on a 139-1 vote. The lone nay vote was State Sen. Mike Krusee, R-Williamson. While Perry may veto the bill, the Legislature would have enough time before it adjourns May 28th to override such an action.
