THE BATTALllI
Toll roads plan
draws criticis
umo
SAN ANTONIO (AP) —
Two Republican activists joined
by a rural Democratic legislator
are fueling opposition to a 50-
year plan ushered by GOP Gov.
Rick Perry to build 4,000 miles
of Texas toll roads and rail lines.
Rep. Robby Cook, of Eagle
Lake, said he wants to slow or
possibly cancel the plan that
could cost up to $183 billion.
The plan calls for corridor proj
ects crisscrossing the state with
separate highway lanes for pas
senger vehicles and trucks, pas
senger rail, freight rail and dedi
cated utility zones.
The state is “moving way too
fast. I don’t think the general pub
lic is aware of all the information
they need to know and whether or
not this is good for all areas,”
Cook said in
Sunday’s editions
of the San Antonio
Express-News.
David and
Linda Stall of
Fayetteville, near
La Grange, agree.
They attended the
GOP convention
last month and
won approval of a
platform plank
that calls for the
repeal of a 2003
law authorizing
the Texas
Department of
Transportation to
proceed.
The Stalls in
February founded Corridor
Watch, which opposes using
could profit from buildinoj
managing projects.
Some residents who
attended TxDOT public
ings on the plan also haver
questions about the scopeofj
project.
