At the recent conference where lawyers and businessmen discussed the sale of infrastructure to foreign entities, James M. Bass, the CFO of Tx DOT likened the process to playing a casino game. He knows its a gamble.
In a related story, the Texas Transportation Council defied the empire and decided to go ahead and work with the Spanish company in taking control of the toll road on SH 121 in North Texas. This will raise the toll for the citizens without any added service. These people are going to do this job with Spain come hell or high water. Although I like it when Texas agencies stand up to the Empire, I do not see this one benefiting the citizens of Texas.
Right now it is a big casino game and the odds are against us an din favor of the house.
Recall that the largest battle ever fought in Texas was not against Mexico, or even the Yankees, it was against Spanish forces in the Battle of Medina.
Free Texas!

PS-Sal I agree the the TxDOT is running renegade. In watching the news stories, it is not clear to me who is in control and where the loyalties lie. What is clear is that the Citizens of Texas (past, present and future) are being victimized financially by their dealings. Selling off infrastructure paid for with tax dollars is wrong. Letting foreign companies control the infrastructure is wrong. These actions amount to surrendering sovereignty of Texas to outsiders. Sam Houston was wrong in selling New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming and Oklahoma to the United States and the modern sell-out, TxDOT is wrong in selling parts of Texas to Spain. They need to be watched and opposed every step of their underhanded ways.

Here’s the deal. The Ledge diverts our tax dollars intended for free roads for other stuff. Bush diverts our gas tax dollars into the war. And TxDOT is diverting the gas tax dollars we do get to shift our freeways to tollways (The largest diversion yet).
TxDOT is an out of control agency that refuses to listen to the people. And that Mr. 39% who appointed the TxDOT crooks should go straight to hell.
