Austin, Texas — At a press conference today at 10:00 AM at TxDot’s headquarters (the Dewitt Greer building, at the corner of 11th & Brazos), CorridorWatch.org, the TexasTollParty.com, Citizens Against the Trans Texas Corridor and Campaigns for People released a report detailing the political contributions of road building interests that are lining up for a piece of the $183.5 billion Trans Texas Corridor (TTC).
The report, "Big Money Paves the Way for the Trans-Texas Corridor," documents political contributions from Texas’ Top 10 Road Contractors as well as the Bidders on TTC-35 (the largest Trans-Texas Corridor contract to date). In the past four years, these road-building interests alone gave over $2.7 million in contributions to executive and legislative candidates for Texas state office. The State’s leadership (the Governor, Lt. Governor, Attorney General, Comptroller, and House Speaker) received over $1.2 million and the applicable Senate and House Committee members over $215,000.

"Kloaking for Republicans @ KXYL ?"- I guess this is just too much information for the listeners of Brownwood Talk Radio. Former KXYL CO-host, Connie Carmichael, used to always encourage her students to "follow the money". In her honor, I post the above information. Come on Phil, shoot sraight with your audience (don't expect one since they can't even shoot straight about why Marion Bishop and Connie Carmichael are no longer "on the air" at KXYL!). As I write this I hear Rick Perrys Ads playing on Watts Communications Airwaves ! Surprise, Surprise......Do you think Phil will "Bite the Hand" that feeds him ?
