A message for TxDot about TTC-69!
I have a message for the folks at TxDot!
And the Word of the Lord God came to Micah in the days of Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Israel and He said, "Woe to those who devise iniquity, and work out evil on their beds! At morning light they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand. They covet fields and take them by violence, also houses and seize them. So they oppress a man and his house! A man and his inheritance."
Is this not what TxDot is doing? Despite the overwhelming opposition of the very people who pay your salaries-despite the opposition of the overwhelming majority of the people of the state of Texas, you have decided in your hearts you will do what you see fit! Never mind that it is against the will of the taxpayers of this state!
You have set it in your hearts that you will oppress the people-the landowners of this state at the behest of a corrupt governor and the mindless idea of a sadly mis-led president for creating a North American Union. A union that will further weaken the soverignty of this great nation!
And what does the Lord God say to the prophet Micah about a house that would do such things? "Behold, against this family I am devising disaster, from which you cannot remove your necks! Nor shall you walk haughtily for this is an evil time!"
A TxDot official has broken the law and defended that action in a public and haughty manner! In a state and a country where there is supposed to be equal justice under the law TxDot has flaunted that justice and illegally hired lobbyists to help with the birth of TTC-69!
And the Lord God said to His servant Micah, "In that day one shall take up a proverb against you, and lament with a bitter lamentation, saying, 'We are utterly destroyed!' "
The TransTexas Corridor will "utterly destroy" many family farm and agricultural operations in rural Texas and the economic development of small cities and towns! What an example of pride for you people to come down from on high in Austin and defy the will of the people because foreign concessionaires and local lobbyists have spent a lot of money buying the souls of a few powerful politicians! Pride does indeed go before a fall!
And in a vision given to His servant Obadiah the Lord God addressed pride in this manner, "The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; You say in your heart, 'Who will bring me down to the ground?' Though you ascend as high as the eagle, and though you set your nest among the stars, from there I will bring you down sayeth the Lord God!"
The Lord God has said to His servant Amos, "I abhor pride!" You folks come down here in your suits and your Power Point presentations and dane to educate us poor, pitiful country idiots about what's best for us while your superiors sit in Austin and flagrantly break the laws of this state and then defend that action in the media!
Understand this; we are networking all over the state and if we have to go to the ballot box and empty our the Texas legislature we certainly will! There was an old Texas Ranger Louis L'Amour wrote about who said, "There ani't no stoppin' a man who knows he's right and keeps on comin'!" So not only am I right but the Lord God has pronounced a woe on people who do what you do!
You fellers sleep well now, ya hear!

I often vote republican also. I voted for Bush because the other option was unthinkable. Go to CorridorWatch.org and spend a few hour. Scroll down and click on every link. You'll become very informed on how this monster has morphed! Inez will be devastated by either route. However, remember what I said, "If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten." We MUST think outside the box on this one! Going to Austin, voting and writing letters, going to meetings-those are all good and need to be done but SHORT OF VIOLENCE we MUST DO MORE! Water Research Group will meet on the 25th of February to discuss what more we must do. Bring your friends and neighbors to the Victoria Electric Coop Auditorium at 7PM. TxDot will hold a public meeting two days later! Half the program will discuss uranium mining in Victoria County and the other half will address options for fighting the TTC-69! posted by

Why in the world would people really think their property would become more valuable? I would view it as a useless wasteland once that thing is built! They would not be able to sell it because of the mess and if anyone wanted it, they could just pretty much "steal" it away from them through legal venues!
Since living in Victoria, I'm learning that I do have to become an expert on so many things. Why is the tax rate so high for this town, why is there a huge mess downtown with the city officials, why is the property taxes so high, why don't we have more things to do here? So many whys. I know one thing for sure - I'll keep my eye on things, educate myself on the issues and take a stand now. I never knew I wanted to become an expert on local politics until lately... **sorry but I still have to vote repulican. I hope that doesn't matter on this issue and we can agree to disagree there.... posted by

Sadly, no! They want to play north against south in order to force Victoria to choose one. If we do that we give our approval. Worse yet, there are those who mistakenly believe the Corridor will make their adjacent property more valuable. The hall way in a house is a corridor. A way to get to the other side of the house. Other rooms. When you go down a Corridor you don't stop on the way. Thus it will be for the TTC. The only people able to build and develop along the Corridor are those who pay a concessionaires fee to the state. If you own property along the Corridor and a concessionaire wants it for a bottling plant or truck stop complex they will have the ability to condemn your property. YES, property will not only be needed for the TTC right-of-way but for it's concessionaires also! Understand this; these are sick and twisted sociopaths who could care less about how many generations have been on the land! They care not one whit about you and your family! This is just one big revenue generator for the state. This is a scheme to further George W. Bush's dream of a North American Union! He has spoken over and over about his dream to unite this continent in trade and commerce and Rick Perry has kept that dream alive in Texas. All you need to do is Google "Amero, HillCo. Partners, Inc., H.B. Zachary, Rick Perry, Cintra" and start reading. Those articles will give you more search words and you can spend a month becoming and expert on the machinations of the Pan American Highway System. But you really didn't want to become an expert on all of that did you? All you wanted was to be left alone so you and your family could settle into a home and live in peace! Many worked all their lives in the plants or away from their loved ones to buy retirement property and just want to live out their days in peace. Many just want land that's been in their families for generations to be left alone so they can, in turn, pass it on to future generations. TxDot knows all of this! Rick Perry knows all of this! And they could all care less! As far as what we can do about stopping this monster I have this quote; "If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten!" posted by

Mr. Schustereit I agree wholeheartedly! Citizens of Inez and other south Texas communities should unite against this corridor before it is too late. Write our Congressman, Ron Paul and contact Geanie Morrison's office to find out what you can do to stop this illegal action. I will be traveling to Austin with the next session to give them a piece of my mind and I hope others will join me as myself and my family will be losing our homes and land to this Spanish conglomerate! posted by

We want to buy a house in Victoria soon but are afraid to make a bad decision. Has the state decided which route this horrible thing will take - north or south side of town?
