President Joe Biden’s Department of Transportation, headed by former presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg, has halted a Texas highway expansion project on the grounds that it is “racist.”
You read that correctly.
According to Politico, a portion of Interstate 45 near Houston was set to be widened. On Thursday, Biden’s DOT decided to freeze it, citing the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The US Department of Transportation is using a provision of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to pause construction on a highway widening project near Houston, an uncommon move that could be an early test of President Joe Biden’s commitment to addressing past racial inequities, according to Politico.
As the populous region continues to grow, the Interstate 45 highway project has been heralded as a way to reduce congestion and improve commute times, but the additional lanes would also impact several heavily Black and Latino neighborhoods, forcing residents, businesses, and houses of worship in the path to relocate.
Yet, they continue to take by eminent domain property from the middle class!
I’ll not comment on the racist part because I’m not sure what racist means today, due to it taking on a new definition. Why are these damorats stopping progress especially when in progress.
Is it because that’s the only piece of legislation that Biden can remember?
and he probably voted against it because he hates BLACKS
