H.Ham Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Sen. Konni Burton, R-Colleyville, filed a bill to slow down the process of building commuter rail projects by adding an additional step—an election. Burton’s Senate Bill 385 would prohibit commuter rail transportation projects from accepting federal funds without holding an election first. “Given the incentives local governments have to spend tax payer dollars and authorize debt in pursuit of federal funds and the fact that commuter rail projects incur ongoing operating costs, the state has a compelling interest to ensure that citizens weigh in on these important matters through an authorization election,” Burton said.
