There is a march and rally on the steps of the state capitol this Friday March 2nd. It is a protest of the Trans Texas Corridor and Nais (animal tagging). Email your state reps and get involved before they take our land. (500,000 acres) This isnt O/T. There will be tractors in the march to the capital. I'll get pictures.

The TTC, well it ain't perfect but something has to be done. As a commercial drive I have driven I-35 since before it was completed. There is more traffic there on a normal day today than there was in 1980 on a holiday. Let's fast forward and try to imagine what it will be in 2034, get it, something has to be done. Like I said it ain't perfect and I don't like foreign folks doing it. but U.S. companys don't want to do it. This is just like everything else, a lot of criticism but those criticizing don't have any idea what to do. Ok, just do nothing but stop it and see where we will be on down the road.

Now here is the funny part. Waco big wiggs are trying to get it moved farther away, complaining it is too close and will kill all business while Hillsboro which is 35 miles up the road are complaining that it isn't coming close enough to them. Go Figure! you can't please everyone.

Well, thats a crock. Hill county passed a resolution against the TTC. Its not perfect? He**, it aint even close. I -35 corridor isnt even fully developed and when they do this ttc thing they will have no competition clauses which will keep the state from doing any more to I-35. They already have rail corridors which could be developed but they dont even do that. Taking 500,000 acres to turn over to a foreign company is B.S. Well, anybody that is still a Texan not afraid to stand up for what is right, come on down to austin friday.

You miss understand me. I am not for the TTC. I am for something to be done. Don't just try to knock it down, offer something better. If I-35 is still under development they are falling behind and if they showed that they were even keeping up, the TTC people wouldn't have a leg to stand on. So my suggestion is to get that I-35 development going. As far as hill county, where it be county officials or not I don't know, but there was a large group trying to get it to come closer. That isn't a "crock". Maybe those folks have gone against it if it wouldn't come closer. If you plan on doing any good in Austin, you will have to offer an alternate solution to the I-35 traffic jams now and in future use. I hope you do.

the only way to change it is to get the House Bill amended. it would all go away. TTC is the biggest crock of crap I have ever heard. People that aren't from Central Texas have no comprehension of the disaster it would cause here, and the unfixable effects it will have on farming here.

the trans texas corridor is already written in stone. nothing can be done to stop this madness. the politicians made sure that was done BEFORE any press releases and voting took place. the NAIS is the same thing. some rancher friends actually think it is a good(????) thing to have. how in the world can we be so blind to what our country and state has become?

EVERY COW must have a name & no. Might as well give them S S Nos. so they can collect too. At least they are US citizens! If they would let us claim them as dependants on our taxes, they would have a true count and know where every one of them comes from. Don't need more roads in Texas, just wider get over lanes on the ones you have now!!
