Senate accepts transportation compromise 5/25/2007 Associated Press The Texas Senate signed off on a compromise transportation bill that includes a two-year moratorium on most new privately financed toll road projects. The proposal is expected to avert the risk of Gov. Rick Perry calling a special legislative session. The compromise bill also includes limits on comprehensive development agreements that are used in contracts for private-public road building. The bill must still be approved by the House before it can be sent to Perry, who's already vetoed a similar transportation bill. The governor threatened to call a special session if lawmakers overrode the veto, and his office worked with legislators on the second proposal. The Senate quickly passed that compromise, but the House added several amendments. That forced a conference committee to find yet another middle course.
