Clean Up Texas Politics | Big Money Paves the Way for the Trans-Texas Corridor: "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."
