TTC Wars: Will Perry’s pet project prevail?

by RickG · 05/23/2007 1:09 pm

Paul Burka’s blog has a nice update on the legislative efforts to de-rail Gov. Perry’s Trans Texas Corridor project. It hasn’t been stopped yet (reference to bills are bills to halt the TTC):

So here’s where we are. HB 1892, the original bill, has been vetoed. SB 792, Carona’s bill, is in conference committee. The governor’s office, through former senator Ken Armbrister, is trying to round up enough votes in the Senate (11) to block an override of the veto. If he is successful, then the governor holds all the cards. He can veto 792 as well, with the calendar preventing an override, and we will be right back to current law, with no moratorium and no provisions enhancing the power of local toll authorities and no restrictions on Tx-DOT.

He ends his update with this cheery thought:

The political implications are huge. The anti-Corridor constituency is very large and very vocal. If this session ends without a moratorium, Rick Perry could turn half a million or so Republicans into Democrats, at least for the next election cycle.

Thanks again for all you do for the party, Guv.

That would be former DEMOCRAT Senator Armbrister.

We can refer to them as KY Jelly Republicans. I won’t elaborate.

From Wikipedia, this explains alot: In 1982, as his term on the Board of Education ended, Perry was elected to the Texas House of Representatives as a Democrat from a district that included his home county of Haskell.

Yes our trust and hope made us vote for this democrat dressed in republican clothing. We sure are paying the price

Good ol’ Rudy “Skirtchaser” Giuliani is up to his slimy neck in this as well:

NAFTA Superhighway has Giuliani as key player

Gov hair spray is as greasy as a used car salesman who has not had a sale in 6 months. He will spout any lie he thinks you want to hear.

Everyone must remember that when the next election comes around.

throw the sleeze out!
