April 18th, 2007 by terrih GOOD NEWS! …MORATORIUM PASSES OUT OF SENATE COMMITTEE BAD NEWS! …281/1604 TAKEN OUT OF MORATORIUM …WENTWORTH SOLD US OUT IN FAVOR OF CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTOR & FORMER CLIENT, ZACHRY! Today, in Senator John Carona’s Transportation Committee hearing, there was much debate swirling about the best way to proceed with our transportation future…either put forward the county powers bill (HB 1892) that the private toll moratorium is attached to or adopt Carona’s attempt at a compromise bill with the Governor’s cronies, House Transportation Chair Mike Krusee and Transportation Commission Chairman Ric Williamson (whom NOBODY trusts!). It became clear early on that members were reticent to push the Carona/Krusee “compromise” omnibus bill, and pressure…from the GRASSROOTS…prevailed and the committee unanimously passed the moratorium HB 1892 out of committee this evening. More to come on the shocking events at the hearing today, including TxDOT testimony about our roads that made the senators’ jaws drop in amazement…even TxDOT still manages to shock our lawmakers with their illegal reach to convert an existing freeway into a tollway. The legal gymnastics TxDOT attempted will fall flat. (check back on this blog soon). THE BAD NEWS At the direction of OUR SAN ANTONIO SENATOR whose former law firm represents Zachry, Jeff Wentworth, Senator Tommy Williams replaced the HOUSE wording of the moratorium with the version that takes 281/1604 OUT of the private toll moratorium. Williams was willing to change it to include our roads, but deferred to Senator Wentworth whose district was affected by the amendment. Zachry is also a MAJOR campaign contributor to Wentworth, and bidder for the 281/1604 private toll contract, the lucrative 121 deal in Dallas area, and the detested Trans Texas Corridor. Read about just one of many money trails here. Another San Antonio Senator, Carlos Uresti, tried to prevent this from happening and called Senator Williams to ask that 281/1604 are PART OF the moratorium, but to no avail. In fact, Wentworth was NOT present when almost a dozen of YOUR FELLOW CITIZENS (most leaving home before 6 AM and having to stay ALL DAY waiting for them to call our bills) got up to testify on YOUR behalf asking that our roads be INCLUDED in the moratorium. Wentworth missed 90% of the hearing, AGAIN, and when he finally showed up, he offered two pro-TxDOT/pro-tolling authority amendments and REFUSED his LAST CHANCE to amend the moratorium to reflect the WILL of HIS CONSTITUENTS! WHAT NEXT??? ACTION ALERT! CONTACT THESE SENATORS IMMEDIATELY! Call the Capitol switchboard: (512) 463-4630 and/or email. Calling is best considering the tight timeline. Contact Senator Jeff Wentworth: (512) 463-0125 jeff.wentworth@senate.state.tx.us Tell him that you’ll work just as hard as you did for this moratorium to defeat him when he’s up for re-election. Time for him to become the next Carter Casteel who learned the hard way NOT to cross her constituents when it comes to DOUBLE taxing us for what we’ve already paid for and for selling us out to benefit a foreign company! Contact Senator Carlos Uresti: (512) 463-0119 carlos.uresti@senate.state.tx.us Thank him for trying to prevent this language and ask that he now offer an amendment on the floor of the Senate next week to INCLUDE our roads in the moratorium! Contact our other San Antonio area senators and ask that they now offer an amendment on the floor of the Senate next week to INCLUDE our roads in the moratorium! Senator Leticia Van de Putte: (512) 463-0126 leticia.vandeputte@senate.state.tx.us Senator Judith Zaffirini: (512) 463-0121 judith.zaffirini@senate.state.tx.us THEN THIS PRIVATE TOLL MORATORIUM CAN FINALLY GET TO THE GOVERNOR’S DESK (in time to override his promised veto)! We’re almost there, don’t give up now. Poster Comment: Terri Hall was on KTSA, San Antonio today to tell how Jeff Wentworth pulled the bait and switch on Texas HB 1892 to put these two highways outside the two-year moratorium the Senate has been able to nail together on creating TOLL ROADS IN TEXAS. He wants to hand these over TO HIS LAWYER FRIENDS and to FOREIGN INTERESTS WHO BUY UP INFRASTRUCTURE ACROSS THE GLOBE THAT TAXPAYERS HAVE PAID FOR AT CENTS ON THE DOLLAR. Terri and her supporters took time off their jobs and busted a gut to get through Austin traffic to make public comments at a meeting Wentworth couldn't have been bothered to show up on time for. If you live in Texas, you know who to call. If you don't live here, know that the TranTXCorridor is the linchpin in the plan for a North American Corridor that will integral to the blueprint for the North American Union / Security & Prosperity Partnership. Call Texas. Tell Senators here that you don't cotton to foreign interests buying up our infrastructure in Texas - or any where else in the US!

LOL. Of COURSE he did. He's a Texas politician, ain't he? Other than Ron Paul, they're all for sale.
Let's see them but their way out of the noose when that day comes, and it surely will, because I have faith in Justice, no matter how long it takes.
Agreed. But never-the-f***ing less. Call your senator and let them know that this issue is STILL HOT. There is a good chance that we can put paid to this for at least two years and GIVE THE GLOBALISTAS THE BIG FAT FINGER.

I'm probably now on the DHS no-fly list from the last ranting email I sent to Joe Barton R-TX in which I called him a traitor and a few other choice things. LMAO. [He sponsored the bill to turn over control of the internet to CorporoFascists which will censor the speed of certain "unpaying" websites and also censor information] The asshole probably had the FBI pull my file that same day. ;)
