If Perry is supporting it, I guarantee there is a fox in the hen house somewhere

Maybe, maybe not.Anyway the job creation is more important, so no problem for me.
I would like more investments from the solar sector, this state is very promising about the sun, et they passed bills to support it.

Let’s talk about toll roads and how Gubnor Pretty Hair is selling out our gasoline tax paid roads to the contractors:

Some on toll agency's board uneasy about plan to replace major contractors | News for Dallas, Texas | Dallas Morning News | Latest News

Talk about the fox guarding the hen house. I'm sure one of Rick's advocates will run in here in a moment and pontificate how he helps Texans. Horse_hit.

I spent 2 days in Houston on toll roads and paid $21.00. I thought all Texans paid for its roads. I guess it comes down to majority, county and who you know.


I apologize for my rants.

Old South Austin Guy out.

I bet many of those jobs are going to be filled by people being furloughed out of state departments under Perry's order for all govt depts to cut budgets by what--10%--

and just start looking for them to be posted on Monster or Texas Workforce Commission--
they won't be--
they are going to be jobs with marketing/commerciual real estate companies and I bet most of it is going to just be absorbed as grant money and there won't be any real oversight about hiring those people that are headlined...
