Building for the Future -Texas Style

Here's a story about the state of Texas looking at putting in a privately funded superhighway system that would be "4,000 miles of mostly toll lanes perhaps a quarter-mile wide, capable of carrying cars, trucks, and high-speed freight and commuter trains. There would be room underground for oil, water, electric and gas pipelines..."

Holy moley! I can't even imagine such a plan for Wisconsin even being proposed. You might even see some of Wisconsin's road builders moving to Texas for the job (year round, incidentally) and forgetting about biz here.
