The San Juanistas

More on the San Juan residents who took their opposition to a toll road all the way to Austin: Radio station KURV reports:

... The so-called San Juanistas Thursday presented the Texas Transportation Commission in Austin with a petition full of 15-hundred signatures of people opposed to the thoroughfare. City officials say the nine-mile toll road, as proposed, would cut through prime residential developments and farm lands, and would ruin the city's tax base. ...

Yesterday the commission approved a regional mobility authority for Hidalgo County. Great. County officials get to appoint their cronies to an RMA board to award construction contracts to their cronies.
