I found an article in the Austin American Statesman written by Ben Wear, titled "Perry's toll road sins mostly in woulda-coulda status now." The article talks about the upcoming Republican Primary, and the debate about transportation between Governor Rick Perry and Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison.
The Article refers to the issue of transportation in the upcoming Republican Primary. Governor Perry is being criticized by Senator Hutchison for his decisions on toll roads. One of the issues is that Governor Perry wanted free roads to be changed into toll roads, but the Legislature didn't allow it. Governor Perry's Trans-Texas Corridor has been winnowed down to almost nothing and Governor Perry has given up on it. Senator Hutchison is criticizing the Trans-Texas Corridor as if Governor Perry is still trying to make something of it. Senator Hutchison's idea for transportation is to build high-speed rail lines across the state which would be expensive.
This article is interesting because not only does it talk about Governor Perry's idea about transportation, but also about Senator Hutchison's idea to fix Governor Perry's "problems." It is a way for Senator Hutchison to attack Governor Perry's past plans. Most of us already know what Governor Perry did but in this article we get a glimpse of Senator Hutchison's ideas for Texas, which are interesting.
