Texas state's comptroller launches a battle against the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority. Is this a debate about transit, or just bad politics?
The Comptroller for Texas has demanded the resignation of the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority Chairman and Board Member following a scathing audit. Insider write in to report that there are questions about whether this brewing battle is a debate over future transit policy, or just poorly-planned political posturing:
"State Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn beat her drums and sounded her trumpets Wednesday as she issued her highly critical report on the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority, which will manage the $1.4 billion toll road system in this part of Texas.
But the report itself didn't offer much new outrage that hadn't been already reported in this newspaper. And much of the report's criticism regarding toll roads is grounded in policy differences, not wrongdoing."
