REMEMBER: INTEL SHELL WAS WATSON’S BACK DOOR DEAL
Austin Mayor Kirk Watson’s (now Sen. Kirk Watson) back door deal with Intel cost city taxpayers $7.5 million in subsidies after they left us with the “Intel shell” eye sore (That deal should be a reminder of how Watson’s deals with special interests always costs the citizens more).
Watson’s City of Austin Prop 1, of the year 2000, diverted a whopping $67.2 million of our bond dollars, intended for free roads, into toll roads.
And, today tricky Sen. Watson is pushing Managed Lanes, a fancy way to say toll roads without using the “T” word.
