The Texas Legislature is just a few steps away from putting a large “stop sign” on one of the most controversial projects in state history.
The State Senate and House are on the verge of approving a measure that would temporarily prevent the development of the controversial Trans-Texas Corridor (TTC). Identical bills – SB 1267 and HB 2772 – would impose a two-year moratorium on privately-funded toll road projects, such as the TTC, by preventing any new comprehensive development agreements or toll project sales to a private entity.
