#2 Extortion of the contractors. There is no other choice than to widen the highway where it is, or simply overburden it with traffic which will devalue the entire area. They will destroy the economy around the I-45 corridor because people will start avoiding it due to the inadequate roadway.

Fucking luddites. And Sheila Jackson-Lee is a dumb ass race-baiting idiot.

#3 Once again demonstrating is that the laws are not important - it's the bureaucrats who interpret the laws that are important?

I wonder how much Federal Taxes are paid by Texans?

What if we eliminated the Federal Income tax and go back to the original way of funding the US Federal Government?

States collected tax monies and SHARED amounts with the Federal Government. The Fed's collected Tariffs, Excise taxes, import duties and etc..

It kept the Federal Gov. in check and listening to the States.

#10 Others note the Biden administration could try to persuade courts to agree that because the highway’s widening affects more minorities than whites, it should be considered a Title VI violation even with no evidence of discriminatory intent.

So...if it impacts more whites than "minorities," then everything is cool? 'cuse me, but GFYs.

When I was but a lad, my Dad showed me the ghost of the house he was born in. Twas but a dip in the curb marking the former driveway to a now vacant lot which was surrounded by a vast area of vacant lots making way for the Grove Shafter freeway in Oakland. But that's OK because these were mostly working class white people who were affected.

#11 Just think! If they get this approach rolling, (Keystone Pipeline being an early trial balloon) they could stop every single infrastructure project in existence dead in its tracks!

Think of the government spending savings!

#12 So "Biden" is proposing a huge "infrastructure" bill while simultaneously stopping current infrastructure projects. You could reasonably conclude that the "infrastructure" part of the bill is just a Trojan horse for the massive spending on a grab bag of Dem favorites.

#13 Think of the government spending savings!

If you think merely stopping the project would stop the spending you're not paying attention.

#14 I work with several successful black business men. They hate these freeloaders as much as everyone else does. And they are very vocal about it to these freeloaders, which is shocking to watch because most people would never get away with what they tell them.
