The Trinity Sham

The Dallas Observer looks a toll road, mud puddle downstream from here.  Funny, it still sounds like they are talking about Fort Worth.

LATEST BAIT-AND-SWITCH ON TRINITY ROAD ONE MORE REASON TO STAY UNDER BED

Going back to 1998 and before, a semi-invisible group of powerful people in Dallas whom we will call, for simplicity’s sake, “The Empire,” have been scheming and maneuvering to build an immense tolled expressway, which we shall call, “The Death Star,” slammed right up next to the banks of the Trinity River through downtown.

The editorial page of The Dallas Morning News carried all the water for The Empire on that. Their line was more or less that roads had been mentioned before the election and tolls had been mentioned and so anybody who didn’t foresee the whole project turning into a toll road project was more or less a fool.
