Toll Roads WTS, WTB, WTT
Bush transportation secretary urges Texas to re-authorize private toll roads

Texas lawmakers should reauthorize private toll roads in the Lone Star State when they return to Austin in 2011, former U.S. Transportation Secretary Mary Peters told Texans Thursday.

With little likelihood that Congress will pass meaningful transportation reform, or find long-term funding solutions, in 2010, Peters said states will do well to send strong messages that they are doing their part to solve their transportation challenges. Toll roads, and the ability to attract private investors to pay for them, are one way many states, including Texas, have used to do just that, she said.

1. I'm so glad Ms. Mary is not in charge
And I'm not surprised she's whoring for Zachary. The concrete boys are at it, and we will meet them head on.
