Leohardt's betrayal of Adkisson in full color on YouTube!

Posted on by

Windcrest Mayor Jack Leonhardt betrayed his own County Commissioner Tommy Adkisson (who endorsed Leonhardt) and the Council of Mayors who appointed him to the MPO in order to give the City of San Antonio a quid pro quo for his own self-interest. Read details here.

Watch his pontificating prior to the vote where he DIRECTLY tells the MPO Board to vote against Commissioner Adkisson (so much for being an un-biased parliamentarian who presided over the vote) so as not to label the Board “anti-toll” due to Adkisson’s criticism of toll plans in full color on YouTube here.

Never mind that the community IS against the proposed toll plans and Adkisson is merely trying to reflect what the community wants! He’s representing the taxpayers while Leonhardt carries the highway lobby’s water! Leonhardt even contradicts himself when, first, he says the Chair vote isn’t about toll vs. anti-toll, then later he says he doesn’t want the MPO to be labeled anti-toll if Adkisson were Chair. Nice try, Mayor, it was a pro-toll vs. anti-toll vote…you made that clear! I’m sure the citizens of Windcrest will be outraged to learn of their Mayor’s pro-toll antics since I-35, their main artery, is in the toll plans.

Hunter-Kaptur amendment to STOP funding of TTC overwhelmingly passes House

Posted on by

Late Thursday evening, on July 26, 2007, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Hunter-Kaptur amendment to the Transportation Appropriations Bill (HR 3074) by an overwhelming margin, 362-63. The amendment was introduced by Congressman Duncan Hunter (R-CA) and Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (D-OH). In a total repudiation of NAFTA, our failed trade policies, and the Bush Administration’s unilateral and aggressive fast tracking of the NAFTA Superhighways, the House successfully moved to de-fund them. Now it heads to the Senate.

Read more about the amendment within this story where Vice President Dick Cheney denies the NAFTA Superhighways.

Cheney chimes in to deny NAFTA superhighways despite preponderance of evidence

In one way, I agree with Cheney: there is no SECRET plan to construct NAFTA Superhighways (the first being the Trans Texas Corridor TTC-35). It’s being done in the WIDE OPEN for those who know where to look. However, it’s being done WITHOUT the approval of Congress and the American people and under the radar of the majority of the national press. The more they try to deny it, the more they heap coals of fire on their heads.

Now Cheney chimes in: Ain’t no superhighways

Vice President Cheney

Despite evidence to the contrary, Vice President Dick Cheney says there is no “secret plan” to create a continent-crossing superhighway to help facilitate a merger of the United States, Mexico and Canada.

“The Administration is not engaged in a secret plan to create a ‘NAFTA super highway,'” asserts Cheney in a recent letter to a constituent, according to a copy of the message obtained by WND.

The vice president’s letter quotes an Aug. 21 statement from the U.S. Department of Transportation that, “The concept of a super highway has been around since the early 1990s, usually in the form of a claim that the U.S. Department of Transportation is going to designate such a highway.”

DOT then refutes the claim, stating, “The Department of Transportation has never had the statutory authority to designate a NAFTA super highway and has never sought such authority.”

The DOT statement then retracts the absolute nature of that statement, qualifying that, “The Department of Transportation will continue to cooperate with the State transportation departments in the I-35 corridor as they upgrade this vital interstate highway to meet 21st century needs. However, these efforts are the routine activities of a Department that cooperates with all the state transportation departments to improve the Nation’s intermodal transportation network.
