TAPE, QUSAY AND UDAY CONFIRM THEY ARE DEAD
Author
unknown - Thanks, Elizabeth!
Interview with Dead Husseins
Could Bring Closure, U.S. Hopes
In a tape broadcast
last night by the al-Jazeera television network, Saddam Hussein's sons Qusay
and Uday acknowledged for a worldwide television audience that they are, in
fact, dead, a move that many in the White House and at the Pentagon hoped
would bring much-needed closure.
In the three-minute
interview, a solemn-looking Qusay is the first to speak, saying simply, "I'm
not going to sugarcoat this: we're dead, folks." Uday, who looks on silently
for most of the interview, congratulates U.S. forces on killing him, but adds
that he and his brother plan to "continue to speak out on the issues
that matter to the Iraqi people." He
also asks that "someone turn down the ---- heat here."
Interim Iraqi administrator
L. Paul Bremer said that seeing the two dead Hussein brothers admit that they
are dead on television could help the Iraqi people move on: "Many Iraqis
already knew Qusay and Uday were dead, but it's still great for people to
hear it straight from the horse's mouth."
He cautioned that
the dead brothers' stated intention of continuing to speak out in the future
served "no constructive purpose."
"If Qusay and Uday continue to appear on television making statements
even though they've already confirmed that they're dead, that's at best confusing
and at worst unhelpful," Mr. Bremer warned.
In a related story,
40,000 unemployed look-alikes of Qusay and Uday rioted today outside the northern
city of Tikrit, demanding job retraining, full health benefits and a shave.

Subject: Toll roads
Austin is ahead of the curve on toll roads so I'll clue you in on what's
happening. First, we have 3 projects approved and under way. All are
under the Texas (toll) Transportation Authority, a subsidiary of TXDOT.
Interestingly, except for the board, the entire TTA is a privately owned
corporation, HDR Inc. The main project is SH 130. It will bypass Austin
on the east for 50 miles from Georgetown to Hwy 183, just south of the
Austin airport. The southern 40 miles of SH 130, from 183 to Seguin,
will probably not be built since the traffic projections were way too
low to justify it. See www.SH130.com <http://www.SH130.com> (covers
all Austin toll projects)
We have other proposed toll projects that will be initiated by a Regional
Mobility Authority. The article below explains RMAs, with my comments
added.

Road-building agency enabled
Law that authorizes Travis-Williamson toll authority also adds penalties
for bad drivers
By Kate Alexander
AMERICAN-STATESMAN STAFF
Friday, June 20, 2003
ROUND ROCK -- Gov. Rick
Perry signed a massive transportation bill Thursday that empowers Williamson
and Travis counties to build toll roads together and adds fines for
bad drivers to fund trauma centers.
An afternoon event in
Round Rock capped a day of pageantry over House Bill 3588, the passage
of which was led by two legislators who represent Williamson County:
Rep. Mike Krusee, R-Round Rock, and Sen. Steve Ogden, R-Bryan. The bill
takes effect immediately. Reublicans are behind
the toll frenzy.
"It's going to make
a dramatic change in the way we get from point A to point B in Texas,"
Ogden said. A lot more expensive!
In Round Rock for the
third and final event of the day for the transportation bill, Perry
said the legislation "will make Texas the national leader in progressive
transportation solutions."
Before the hometown crowd
of Williamson County leaders, Krusee got a little emotional when he
compared the Round Rock signing with the other two events of the day.
He said bringing together Williamson and Travis counties -- which he
likened to "cats and dogs" -- in the Central Texas Regional
Mobility Authority boded well for his efforts to bring together the
Legislature for this "bold" transportation initiative. RMA
tolls are intended to be permanent. They may also earn 'profits' which
are to be used as seed money for new toll road projects. They may also
seize existing roads and convert them to toll roads, but they must first
pay the state the full value of the road if they do (using bond money.)
"We're going to be
able to build roads that we never could have built before," Krusee
said.
The mobility authority
won the power to issue bonds to pay for new roads and condemn land along
the road path. The Central Texas coalition is the first regional mobility
authority in the state and has named as its top priorities a toll-road
bypass of U.S. 183 in Williamson County and Texas 45 South, another
toll road in Southwest Austin.
"With the authority
to form regional mobility authorities, local communities will have the
flexibility they need to address local transportation needs, and they
will have the added benefit of keeping locally generated transportation
dollars in their local communities for future projects," Perry
said Thursday. He called the mobility authorities the "most intriguing
and most helpful piece of this legislation." Perry,
like Bush, prefers to spend our gas tax dollars on other stuff. 38%
of 'dedicated' federal gas tax dollars are now spent on welfare and
warfare. Not sure how many state gas tax dollars are diverted but it's
probably enough to fix one road like 1604 every year.
Williamson County Commissioner
Greg Boatright agreed that the strength of the mobility authority is
the local decision-making that will enable the counties to "control
our own destiny and be able to get some projects completed."
When the bill moved to
the Senate, Ogden eliminated many of its provisions relating to the
mobility authority out of concern that the untested government body
was getting too much power. Krusee argued the changes hamstrung the
authority's ability to finance the toll roads and build them quicker
and cheaper. Those powers were restored during House-Senate negotiations.
Ogden cut out a section that allowed RMAs to immediately
evict people and bulldoze their property instead of first suing them
in court if they refuse to sell. I forget the other provisions but all
were detestable and all were included in the final bill.
The authority also can
convert existing free state highways to toll roads, but only after holding
public hearings, receiving approval from the Texas Transportation Commission
and reimbursing the state for the past construction and maintenance
costs of the road.
kalexander@statesman.com;
246-0030
Unlike
SA's proposed projects which appear to be designed to relieve existing
congestion, Austin's projects are more in the way of providing new infrastructure
in undeveloped areas that will make a few landowners VERY wealthy. I
don't know if this form of graft will come to SA but beware of RMAs.
RMAs have to be authorized by the legislature.
