Around Texas

Unfortunately, it's become accepted as gospel that tolls are the best funding solution in Democratic circles, no matter how wrong that thesis is. Kirk is a part of that problem and that makes him a very unsuitable choice.
The reality is we need someone dedicated to transportation who can come at our infrastructure problems with innovative, multimodal solutions. We need someone who can recommend sensible, long term financial structures not someone who will simply kick the can down the road, soaking taxpayers in the process.

Am I the only one who thinks this bitch is the candidate equivalent of fruitcake? Pretty but absolutely worthless? And trust me, this isn't a Democrat vs. Republican thing. This bitch is as dumb as a box of fucking rocks. Click the goddamn links.
Oh and the Trinity Toll Road is kinda moving forward. But not really.

DMN is reporting this morning Kirk as USTR. I haven't seen that from anyone else, but Becerra has been waffling on the position for over a week now.

Oh, and on the Austin Energy article, the Statesman didn't even mention the fact that AE contributes $100 million to the City's general fund every year and that the city basically uses the utility as a "piggy bank of last resort" whenever it needs to find money for various economic development projects. Take into account those costs and the deregulation story looks even worse. Silly Repubs.
