Possibly Coming to a Town Near You: TxDOT Seeks Public Input on Regional Passenger Rail Study In response to the traffic-logged and ever-growing I-35 corridor, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is studying how passenger rail service could alleviate traffic congestion. The Texas-Oklahoma Passenger Rail Study project has reviewed possible rail routes and types of service and has recommended alternatives for further study. The study is looking at a range of passenger rail service options along the 850-mile IH-35 corridor from Oklahoma City to South Texas. Between now and the end of February, the agency is opening the process to public comment at public hearings in towns along the corridor. (See the schedule below.) If you cannot attend a public meeting, all materials and a comment form are available online at http://txokrail.org . You can submit your comments online or mail your comments to: Mark Werner, Rail Division, TxDOT, 125 E. 11th Street, Austin, TX 78701-2483. Comments on the draft alternatives are due February 28, 2013.

| Paranoia of the Plutocrats Paul Krugman | Paranoia of the Plutocrats Paul Krugman 
Rising inequality has obvious economic costs: stagnant wages despite rising productivity, rising debt that makes us more vulnerable to financial crisis. It also has big social and human costs. There is, for example, strong evidence that high inequality leads to worse health and higher mortality. But there's more. Extreme inequality, it turns out, creates a class of people who are alarmingly detached from reality - and simultaneously gives these people great power.

County Party Chair Candidate Forum | County Party Chair Candidate Forum We will meet at the University Park Public Library to learn more about Darlene Ewing and Heath Harris. At our February 1st meeting, we will host a forum for our party chair candidates. The chair will be elected in the Primary. This is a very important race, and it, therefore, has attracted controversy. Our forum will be  designed to get information directly from the candidates, so we can all hear for ourselves and come to our own conclusions. We will follow our usual format for candidate forums. Candidates in other races are welcome to do the elevator speech line-up at the start of the meeting and to visit with members before and after. Anticipating a good crowd for this meeting, we have reserved a larger meeting room in the new University Park Library. The meeting will be on the 3rd floor, and someone will greet you at the elevator to take you there. We are able to serve coffee at this location. Date: Saturday, February 1st Time: 10:30 am to 12:00 pm Place: University Park Public Library 8383 Preston Center Plaza Suite 200 University Park, TX 75225 From Preston Road, turn east on Wentwood, and the library will be in the multi-story building on your left. There is plenty of free parking next to the library.
