UPDATE: High Speed Rail: Magnolia & Montgomery County are Watching You.

Houston Press  & Houston Chronicle finally caught up with loyal Information Intelligence subscribers to tell us how local governments are forming commissions specifically designed to block high speed rail. 

Information Intelligence on July 22, 2015:

Montgomery County and the city of Magnolia formed a regional planning commission to monitor the proposed high speed rail project.The current path of the high speed rail proposal does not cross Magnolia or Montgomery County.

Both local governments appear to be opposed to the high speed rail and its taking of private land. As such, the city and county are being vigilent just in case. 

Montgomery County Judge Craig Doyal: ” We are committed to opposing any routing of high speed rail through western Montgomery County, and the regional planning commission is a tool that will help us in that goal”
