Sen. Robert Nichols:
“It adds a whole new level of new transportation codes and new authorities that have never been fleshed out in public hearings,” Nichols, a former Texas Transportation Commission member, said of the bill’s hot-off-the-printer’s 81 pages. Given the new exceptions added to his moratorium, and other new language, “we’re not quite sure what the moratorium will do.”
Sen. John Carona:
“Some of your comments are just not accurate,” said Carona, who has been in on the closed-door negotiations on the bill over the past few days. Nichols was not invited to those sessions. “I don’t want to let those statements go unchallenged before the press.”
Nichols replied that he had spent from 9 p.m. Sunday to 1 a.m. today going through the bill line by line and that his comments were in fact informed.
“Did you do that last night?” Nichols asked Carona.
