Rally in Austin against the Trans Texas Corridor

Those of you in Austin may want to take note of a rally being planned for Tuesday, May 3, to protest against the Trans-Texas Corridor. From my Inbox:

PROTESTING THE TRANS-TEXAS CORRIDOR / SUPPORTING HB-3363

500 or more are expected to gather Tuesday morning on the South Lawn to voice objections to the Trans-Texas Corridor and the conversion of free state highways into toll roads. Participants will arrive from rural and urban counties across Texas.

JOIN US - WEAR YELLOW TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT

County Judges Ed Janecka and Evan Gonzales will represent the concerns of twenty counties that have adopted formal Resolutions opposing the Trans-Texas Corridor.

A growing number of voters share very serious concerns about the Trans-Texas Corridor and the horrific impact it will have on our state. We have members in 149 counties and we are urging all of them to rally in Austin on Tuesday. We sincerely hope the legislature will listen to the people of Texas, delay the Trans-Texas Corridor project, and provide the opportunity for real public input and discussion.

We urge support of House Bill 3363, a bill that will place a two year moratorium on the Trans-Texas Corridor and free road to toll conversions; and, House Bill 1273 and House Bill 1794, which modify the scope and scale of the Trans-Texas Corridor.
