DALLAS - The Texas Central Railway’s bullet train between the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and Houston will survive the next legislative session, but not without some fights, predicted State Rep. Ron Simmons, R-Carrollton.
“I think there will be attempts at roadblocks – but again, as long as they are not asking for state money and they’re doing with all private money, I am a little bit skeptical as to where that could happen but I am hopeful it can – then it will go through,” he said on WFAA’s Inside Texas Politics Sunday morning.
“Doesn’t mean there won’t be some battles – maybe in the legislature, certainly in court from private landowners but I believe ultimately if they’ve got the financial support to put it together it can happen.”
