Governor Perry’s Signature Needed
May 4, 2007 Texas Farm Bureau, Austin Newsletter HB1892 by Representative Wayne Smith passed in the Senate. The significance of this bill is the moratorium amendment offered by Representative Lois Kolkhorst. Her amendment halted the use of comprehensive development agreements (CDA) for road projects. CDAs are the methodology which Texas Department of Transportation uses to fund Trans-Texas Corridor projects. The amendment requires a study of the best methods to fund and build road projects in the state. This amendment is a major milestone in the war against the TTC. However, this is simply one of several hurdles which must be met. Governor Perry has ten days to veto the bill. If he does not veto HB 1892 it becomes a law. It is imperative we continue to speak with Governor Perry’s office regarding HB 1892 and explaining the importance of the bill.
