Keel Should Back Up Assertion

RECEIVED Mon., Aug. 2, 2004

Editor,
   I have been waiting for someone else to bring up this subject, but so far I have not seen a comment. According to reports from the CAMPO meeting, Rep. Kerry Keel essentially called Austin District Engineer Daigh and the three members of the Texas Transportation Committee liars when he blurted that he thinks the TxDOT funding shortage is greatly exaggerated.
   If he sincerely believes this assertion, Rep. Keel should call for a thorough and complete audit of TxDOT activities in order to discover where the highway funds have gone. If he was just posturing, he owes all of the citizens of Texas an apology for his offhanded remark.
