[AGL] Proposition 1, Rail relocation, Please vote NO

[Connie Clark]

Sounds good, but don't vote for it.  Nobody really knows where the rails would be relocated (out of the urban area).  Can you think of any suburban areas that will accept rail lines ("sure just run 'em over here - no problem man").  They need to show us more about where the relocation could actually happen, before we allow them to start sticking money somewhere for a big (millions$) consulting contract.
 
The whole things is part of Rick Perry's scheme to eminent domain grab large pieces of rural lane and make a big transportation and utility corridor across Texas. 
 
The text of the proposition is at this link.  Please tell others that although the simple prop sounds good, ie safety, congestion relief at rail crossings, don't vote for it.  We don't know enough and it is giving TxDOT more power it doesn't need to have right now.
