For those who fancy that government's projects are uniquely important, or for those who imagine that holding government office makes someone unusually saintly or trustworthy, entrusting government with power that we would never entrust to our neighbors or other private citizens might seem sensible. To me, it's dangerous, unjustified, and unjustifiable-Dr Donald Boudreaux - (Added by: salon)
The way SB 792 is worded it enables TxDOT to circumvent the moratorium portion of what was in HB 1892 that would stop privatization of toll projects for a 2-year period.
.
Rep. Lois Kolkhorst wrote Amendment 13 to tack onto SB 792 so that no toll road project may be circumvented in this manner. She is trying to protect the people of Texas.
.
Phone Lt. Gov. Dewhurst regarding SB 792 and tell him that you want Amendment 13 included or to drop the bill entirely! We need protection from pro-toll special interests.
