Trans Texas Corridor

AAh-HHOOOO, found it!

Must have missed this article by Devvy Kidd! Yes'sum Huckabee is truly "in the know." He has many a nickname, Highway Governor is one of them. I do remember some of the Arkansas state highways were gravel/rock roads, but that was back in the early 80s. That might have changed. The Highway Governor set into motion major road construction, but it was only the interstates from what I've read. Lord knows, many of the interstates have been in very poor condition, made for some rough rides cross-country. Anyway, a snippet from Devvy's article. Follow the "this is a letter link" for 2 governors names at the bottom. Quote doesn't carry the link, so a little over halfway down the full page at the link
http://www.newswithviews.com/Devvy/kidd332.htm
One more document: This is a letter from Napolitano and Brother Huckabee, who has fooled the Evangelical Christian Right with his folksy God-talk, to Michael Chertoff, Commissar of Fatherland Security. It reaffirms Brother Huck's commitment to implement the Nazi-style "Real ID." And, why wouldn't he? His newly appointed advisor on foreign policy is none other than Richard Haas, president of the treasonous Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) who believes our national sovereignty should be scraped in favor of world government. Make no mistake about it: Brother Huckabee has been kissed and blessed by the traitors working to destroy this republic. Not to mention the Huckster's coddling of illegals and his rolling out the welcome mat for a Mexican Consulate in Little Rock to help illegals stay in this country and steal jobs and classroom seats from Americans.

Now for something found in the NASCO site. At the link, scroll down to NASCO in Mexico. 2 Power Point Presentations to look at slides. Slide #6 is a map of Mexico with ports and highways. Where they meet up to highways in the US. Yes, it looks like the Canamex is still a GO and I found a new release on that.
http://www.nascocorridor.com/pages/news/conf_07_notes.html
Also on that page in the left column is the report from the 2007 conference, plus in the related events about a May conference and expo downtown San Antonio.

For Canamex. Damn those Executive Orders!

Yuppers, click on the E. O. link.

A word I came across a couple of years back, yet forgot about until I was searching around, is Multimodal corridors. Multiple modalities, but most I saw didn't go into many details. Hm, multiple meaning vehicles, commercial vehicles, rail systems.

New interstate should boost local economies: ''Pan-American highway'' could be finished in as little as 12 years. (Focus Delta & River Cities).
Publication Date: 27-MAY-02
Publication Title: Mississippi Business Journal
Format: Online
Author: Kirkland, Elizabeth
Exports from Mississippi to Mexico alone have doubled in the five short years of the North American Free Trade Agreement, and when Interstate 69 is finished officials hope truck borne exports to Mexico and Canada continue to increase exponentially.

A Pan-American Highway -- it has been talked about for nearly 20 years. Interstate 69, it seems, could fulfill that long talked about dream of connecting the Americas, perhaps in as little as 12 years

How many realize the Pan-American Highway goes from Alaska ALL THE WAY down to the tip of South America? One portion in Panama is a problem area, broken link due to environmental issues if I remember correctly. Google, CNN has a link for that story. In S. A., the highway is a mixed blessing, has helped the farmers get goods to market. The Pan American H. isn't new, but what they are pushing through now is.

Many states are using toll roads to help pay for the roads and other transportation needs. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa5333/is_200702/ai_n21282589 If Spain wants to invest in one, does that hurt the US? Would they run the highway differently than any US company? Both would want to earn a profit on the road via the tolls charged. Would they restrict traffic? That would reduce their ability to gain returns on their investment- they would want to encourage traffic on their road, not discourage it. Could they export the road? No.

The "Mexican Customs Office" in Kansas City is going to be a place where Mexico can pre- inspect goods bound for Mexico. It will have nothing to do with domestic goods or US imports from Mexico. We have inspectors in Mexico already checking some goods bound for the US.

Yes a highway is being built in Texas, but it is being over sold as a threat to the nation. http://www.thenation.com/doc/20070827/hayes The rest of the route is already existing highways. Improving transportation is not necessarily a bad thing. Otherwise we should get rid of all roads. They allow for the free flow of goods and services which contribute to a free market economy.

No one would argue we need improvements in trasnportation.... but taking away Texas resident's land by eminent domain, building HUGE NEW SUPER highways with little on/off ramps and topping that off by letting a foreign company invest and profit from it is not right. At least, the people of Texas that are affected by this should have an opportunity to vote. What happened to all of the taxes on our fuel that was supposed to go to road improvements? Oh that's right.. wasted... so now, we have to continue paying those taxes AND tolls? Doesn't make sense. This giant super highway is nothing more than a way to bring in more imports from other countries since the ports are maxed out on the coast. It's a super government globalized agenda and is not necessary. Existing roads could be widened easier, it's just that no one can find a way to pay for it... just because a foreign company is willing to invest in something like this doesn't mean it's a good idea, you have to look at the big picture and at THE VERY LEAST, give the residents affected by something like this a chance to vote on it !!!

4 million acres of land are being confiscated. Does that sound like a republic to you?

the problem, you see, is that the people of texas have already paid for the highways, and will continue to pay for them (whether they use them or not) through gasoline and other taxes, then there will be the toll on top of that.

the king's gettin' a sweetheart deal here.

though the idea is great, it's all in how they're going about it.

Any links to that information I could take a look at? It does not sound accurate to me.
Let me see, an acre is 660x 66 feet. The road is said that it could be up to1200 feet wide(four football fields) in some places. Four million acres would be a road 1200 feet wide some 25,000 miles long. That is some highway! And I am certainly not saying that the confiscation of ANY land would be OK.

Not being a resident of Texas, I have no idea as to whether or not the Trans Texas corridor will be a good thing or not, but from what I read, the financing will not involve any tax money. OK- I see on the official site they say "limited state funds". http://ttc.keeptexasmoving.com/financing/

It would seem proper for Texans to be able to vote on the issue if they have not already.
 
The best figures I've heard are 1/2 - 1 million acres for the entire road network (I-35, I-69 and more).

Voting should only occur after the following:

- All parties that have land in the path agree to sell it for a price they want.
- All who have land in close proximity that will be negatively affected with pollution, etc. have reached agreement to accept any impact.
- All funding for the road is already taken care of be means of volunteer association.

Voting would then be necessary since it is still a major, long term negative impact on the state. There is really little to no benefit of the road for the people of Texas and much to lose. I attended quite a few of the public meetings- anyone that understands the project wants nothing to do with it.
 
Thank you for the information as well as the local perspective. Since the final routes have not been decided yet, the total amount of land required (as well as the expense) cannot be known for certain yet. A million acres is still a lot of land.

You're quite welcome.

What "peels the paint off our barns", so to speak, are these aspects:

1) Forcefully taking our land and leasing it to foreigners to profit from
2) The complete loss of property tax income for every county affected
3) Ignoring via complete silence on issues of access points
4) Cutting farms in half with no crossing point
5) Removal of productive farm and ranchland FOREVER from Texas and the United States
6) The insane idea of putting ALL critical infrastructure in a 1200 foot wide path. Makes it a LOT easier to disrupt more(rail, utilities, pipelines, highway) at one point. VERY dumb, needing a "tractor and a flashlight" dumb.
7) The total arrogance of those pushing this plan
8) The fact that EXISTING corridors(example: Highway 59) can be further utilized
9) The fact that Texans have been lied to for over a decade by the state with the cute little signs down Highway 59 that read "Future Interstate 69 Corridor"

I live in Indiana, where the Governor leased our toll road for something like the next 70 years to a Foreign company. It was done without the people's approval and I haven't met an Indiana resident yet that thought it was a "good idea". Sure there is an initial lining of coffers and it makes the current budget for road improvements look more favorable. But what happens when that money runs out and the state no longer has the initial money from the lease or what would have been the proceeds from the tolls?

It was a selfish move that helps the projects of the current IN administration look good on paper, but is selling us out over the long run. There have already been a lot of job losses and I saw a response to a letter from a toll booth employee that was told that he has "no future with this company and should look for employment elsewhere."

Our governor should not have the ability, or the authority to make 70 odd year commitments of our resources to a foreign company. Especially without approval of the residents. In the end it is always the residents of the state that are left paying for these mistakes.
 
They are going to build it in disconnected sections to keep people like you from catching on.

Then they will tie them all together. :)
 
That is only the beginning. They are giving control away of our other highways away as well.

This is definitely a bad thing. Why would we want foreigners in any way in control of our highways - existing and new?????????????????????????????????????

Please think. America is being sold out completely. The UN owns many of our National Parks already. Soon private property will be outlawed or Sub-prime mortgage-failured away from us.

Please look at all the little teeny puzzle parts and start putting them together. It will give you the big picture.
