HillCo hands Costello a megaphone
Oh, I just can't believe this...
In a response to a Muckraker blog article I published on 5/9/07 (see below), Hillco Partners, one of the most powerful lobby firms in Texas sent a letter to threaten me with a lawsuit.I see this threat letter as a deliberate attempt to squelch my freedom of speech by those who seek to shift our Texas freeways to tollways. HillCo is connected to Rep. Mike Krusee, Gov. Rick Perry and other toll road profiteers such as PBS&J, Goldman Sachs and Fluor.
Seriously, HillCo, dumb move. Even if you win, you lose because it's going to shed light on a lot of stuff you may not want people to know about. You definitely don't want the public to know more about the brilliant transportation ideas for which you guys are lobbying. Because the more people know about tolling on the massive scale planned by TXDoT, the more they get pissed.
I guess I should say thanks. You've just shined a spotlight on the plan to toll roads statewide.
