        And yet I-35 through downtown Austin was approved. Houston continued to widen their highways despite no one wanting it. And Amtrak still sucks. I was not impressed by his tenure. Seemed very “business as usual”. Just one more lane bro!

          Exactly what you’d expect from a McKinsey consultant.

          Dude is corporate, centrist, status quo as they come.
