In response to Ben Wear's Austin Statesman article "TxDOT says outsourcing highway maintenance could save millions, but previous pilot project fell flat"
We have learned during the past 10 years that what TxDOT has to say often means very little regarding the truth on various issues.
Mr. Wear makes some good points in the article, e.g., that TxDOT already has used private contractors to perform various highway and road building and maintenance. Unfortunately, more often than not, the work performed is not professional or quality oriented.
