TESTIMONY: July 27, 2006 - Dallas, TX

"I am against Trans Texas Corridor 35. I want to make that perfectly clear. Mainly for the process, because this has not been an open process . . . I've worked with TxDOT very well, but not since Ric Williamson has been onboard the Commission and really not since Rick Perry has been Governor because they don't like input, they don't want comments that might be constructive to this process. . . . If this is crammed down our throats, which if we keep the current administration it will be, I want to go on record that if they're going to have Trans Texas Corridor 35, this red route around here [holding and pointing to map] is the regional recommended corridor by the RTC everyone in our group has voted on."
