I just don't understand - "What part of NO does TxDOT not understand". Citizens are finally picking up on the idea that (in the vast majority of cases) this corridor will not help them, and quite the opposite is true. Who, and I wish someone would come forward, will benefit from being near the corridor? It is not unlike being next the railroad tracks of olden days. Couldn't get on or off, yet the train interrupted flow of traffic. But, big difference is that the trains went by once in a while, the corridor will be 24 hrs 7 days of noisy nuisance. For Houghton to say that if they (Texas Transportation Commission) would not agree with Perry there would be "hell to pay" is an example of a dictatorship, not a democracy. What makes the TTC such a great idea ? Because Perry thought of it ? The next election can't come too soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
