6 Points from Sen. Konnie Burton Op Ed on TEX Rail

27 miles of rail has an enormous price tag of $998.78 million
local officials are aggressively pushing it & have not secured funding
“our community” hasn’t signaled a “desire” for mass transit, even Travis County voted before they approved rail & we haven’t
local officials are entering into a deal with the” irrational and fiscally irresponsible federal government”
it won’t have an impact on traffic congestion based on the environmental impact study
rail projects attract high earners and “neglects the needs of our most vulnerable”
