While I disagree that private investment is necessary to build needed roads, Ms. Chapa is right on the money about Perry. The release of the contract was far too politically advantageous to believe his excuses. When nearly $10 billion of highway funds have already been raided for things as inexcusable as cemetary [...]

The more William Molina heard about toll road plans, the more outraged he got, until finally he picked up his camera and did what he does best.
Molina spent the past several months shooting more than 40 hours of footage at public meetings in [...]

Kudos to Karen Collins of McKinney for the Trans Texas Corridor question. First, Perry tried to explain away his land grabbing toll road nightmare by comparing public opposition to when the interstate system was built.
