Tolls : CAMPO's next step
What happens next? Since the CAMPO meeting last month, we've all been wondering exactly what is going to happen on October 8th. Granted we're not as concerned with it as we are with, say, the return of Drawn Together on Comedy Central, but we are curious as to exactly how CAMPO is going to vote on the TIP.
No, no... I mean the actual mechanism. I want to know if they are going to vote on the individual amendments or the TIP as one big project. Further, who'll make that decision and under what rules? Simply put, will the Chair (Senator Watson) be making all the decisions by fiat?
It's clear from the recent TTI report that Austin is congested like a man with serious allergies when the cedar starts to pick up. Anyone who has to go anywhere during the morning or afternoon knows that. Personally, I find it amusing as hell that the Statesman chooses to pay so much attention to THIS TTI report and not to the one detailing gas tax indexing as the cheapest alternative to soaking taxpayers with tolls. Which brings us back 'round the mountain to where we began... how is all this going to happen?
And will any of the members be allowed to bring motions?
Why don't we get this settled out before we actually, you know, have the meeting. Oh, and please have the chamber mooks come on out again. It was a blast!
