SLOWER I-35 PART OF DEAL ON TOLL ROAD
A recent toll road contract that shoehorns market incentives into a government monopoly would reward the state for lowering speed limits on Interstate 35, effectively steering drivers to the toll road. The privatization contract for Texas 130 from Austin to Seguin, cutting a parallel path east of I-35, was quietly signed in March amid a legislative furor over whether to freeze such agreements. It includes a controversial clause that penalizes the state for widening or building competing roads.

Seems Rick Perry and that Spain-based general contractor are a little thick headed when it comes to toll roads. How many times does the public have to say "We don't want no stinkin' toll roads!"? Who voted this jerk back into office?
