Tomorrow is the day to support Austin City Council in deciding to fund capping over the rebuild of I-35. You can sign up to speak, or in favor but not to speak, at the kiosks in city hall before 9:15 am.
I'm proud to stand with our entire Central Texas state delegation in urging Austin to pass Cap and Stitch. Reconnecting communities is how we right historic wrongs, cast a vote aligned with our values, and build a city worthy of our future. Let’s lead.

TxDOT should definitely NOT be certifying its own environmental reviews & now's the time to weigh in! Your message can be short and sweet, just convey that you don't think the agreement should be renewed which gives TxDOT this authority. actionnetwork.org/letters/reclai…

TxDOT enforces its own compliance with federal environmental law. Now, that's up for review. Latest in @HoustonChron houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas…
It's time to weigh in! actionnetwork.org/letters/reclai… Tell your representatives that you do NOT support the agreement that allows TxDOT to environmentally review its own projects, with no checks and balances or federal oversight.
