Anti-Anti-TTC
Misinformation. Subterfuge. Sabotage. Ah yes, and of course, the Trans Texas Corridor.
The latest allegation by TexasTurf and other anti-TTC groups is that comments made this week by Texas Senator Steve Ogden to a Walker County official were intended to undermine Turf’s rally against the highway planned for this weekend in Austin.
Turf quoted Ogden saying “TTC-69 is dead.” The comment, Turf says, was meant to keep the angry mob away from Austin, believing they had won. Ogden, in turn, says he was misquoted, that he meant “TTC-69 is dead in Walker County.”
TURF says a second incident, in which a witness said she heard the Mayor of Kendleton attempt to discourage attendance at the rally, was also an attempt to sabotage anti-TTC efforts.
There’s a lot of unconfirmed, partisan information here. But the episode is indicative of widespread feelings among many citizens of anger and mistrust that are very, very real.
In the meantime, public comments on the TTC Draft Environment Impact Statement are still being collected.

I wish I could get well long enough to fight these learders of ours on the superhighway projects. Our leards take us a being stupid, and walk all over the the people of this country.
While we are trying to servive the high cost of living, our leaders try to keep us busy serviving, hoping we will not notice what they (leaders) are putting over on us Americans. NAFTA wants the superhighway, plus hwy59 project. Our leaders are all about MONEY! The tax-payers foot the bill! Me and my family wood rather have timber, food and green pastures. Concrete causes more flooding! We had rather stay dry and safe! The MONEY people could care less.
After this past 50 yrs. experence with the American so called leaders. I see no reason to vote for a president, senator or anyone else running for office. Too many have stabed us in the back.
