SB 404 and SB 17 Must be Defeated
Two bills needed by TxDoT to build toll roads and the Trans-Texas Corridor – 69, or I-69 are scheduled for a vote on Friday, May 22 in the House.
These two bills are critical to TxDoT and the lobbyists who are pushing our state into Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) called CDAs or Comprehensive Development Agreements.
Last week, the House overwhelming voted to repeal the Trans-Texas Corridor for good in an amendment to HB 300, the Sunset transportation bill. However, the Senate has done a typical sleazy deal and entirely re-written the Sunset Bill with everything TxDoT wants and needs to continue business as usual.
SB 404 and SB 17 are two bills the Senate hopes we will ignore. These two bills will resurrect the TTC and other CDA sweetheart deals for the next 50 years if not stopped in the House on Friday.
Please feel free to join us at our monthly meetings held on the Third Tuesday of each month at the Harris County Courthouse Annex 16603 Buccaneer, Houston, Texas in the courtroom upstairs. We start with a social gathering at 7:00 pm and the meeting starts at 7:30 pm.
