This week many cities are hosting public hearings on the controversial Trans-Texas Corridor, the 184 billion dollar system of toll roads from Laredo to north Texas; Thursday one outspoken opponent made a stop in central Texas.
Carole Keeton Strayhorn took time to meet supporters and members of the Blackland Coalition Thursday afternoon in Temple.
The coalition, that also opposes the highway plan endorsed Strayhorn for Governor.
She told those in attendance that the toll roads are not needed.
Strayhorn explained, "This 180 billion dollar boondoggle, Texas property belongs to Texans not foreign companies."
She also said she filed a lawsuit to get her nickname "grandma" on the ballot, but she is focusing on the bigger issues Texans care about.
