That tollway, already under construction, was unrelated to her sister's vote in July.<BR/><BR/>But Rhone also worked on public outreach on the seven-road plan in the runup to the July 12 vote. Her contract allows her to receive as much as $44,400.<BR/><BR/>According to Richard Ridings with HNTB, the lead engineer on the project, she has been paid $26,000 so far and has billed an additional $6,000.<BR/><BR/>Her contract specifies her start date as Feb. 1 this year, and the agency, in a letter to Barrientos released Friday, said Rhone has worked for the authority since Feb. 18. But Rhone did not sign the contract with HNTB until July 7. Ridings signed on July 13, the morning after the toll road vote."<BR/><BR/>- American Statesman, Saturday, Sept 18, 2004Sal Costellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09480127461297425532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12974737.post-69864093475809607132008-03-01T12:47:00.000-06:002008-03-01T12:47:00.000-06:00Surpise ANONYMOUS (6:49p.m. 29Feb) obviously liste...Surpise ANONYMOUS (6:49p.m. 29Feb) obviously listens to Sal, too, despite anonymous's own "rational ability" of contradictions and shallow beliefs.

If you want to look the other way to corruption, then that makes one question who you are and your motives. I think that you are a toller who has sold your soul to money.<BR/><BR/>I'm guessing you are Heileginstein or one of the other crooked bitches and pricks that are attempting to screw the citizens of Texas. Are you that naive to what is going on? <BR/><BR/>Sal will prevail. He has been threatened before but he fears no one.

You continuously slander leaders in our community, from Strama to Watson. You have no ability to be rational, especially with the transportation issues we face. Life is not always black and white.
