Being "Blunt" about Missouri Politics

"Guiliani has ties to the NAFTA Super-Highway project via the Texas Trans-Corridor. The TCC awarded the massive construction project to Cintra Concesiones de Infrastructures de Transporte, S.A, a foreign firm based in Spain. An article entitled, "NAFTA Superhighway Has Guiliani as Key Player," found at the Hulic.com Web site, details Guiliani's involvement, stating:

"At the center of negotiations for multiple legs of the superhighway corridor throughout Texas is none other than Rudolph Giuliani's law firm, which landed the comprehensive development agreement for a widening of Interstate 35, now referred to as the TTC-35.

"The NAFTA superhighway and its corridor will run from Southwestern Mexico through Laredo, Austin and Dallas, Texas, into Kansas City, Kan, [via western Missouri] serving as an inland customs port. 

Most interesting is not only has Mr. Giuliani's involvement in the NAFTA superhighway not ever been publicly addressed, but how a foreign company is awarded the building of a mass highway system, versus maintaining it, for the first time in U.S. history, and negotiated by the law firm of a Republican candidate running for president of the United States. And truly disturbing is how such will not only have national and homeland security and sovereignty implications but how it is deliberately being kept away from the halls of Congress."

At the time Emerson endorsed Rudy Giuliani, he was considered the "front runner" for the Republican presidential nomination. Since that time he has performed poorly in early presidential primaries and is running low on cash. It has become perfectly clear that Rudy no longer stands a chance at becoming president.

In her announcement that she was considering running for Governor of Missouri, Representative Emerson stated that:

"Lesser state offices, such as lieutenant governor, do not interest her"

Of course not.

If Emerson does not become Governor, who will protect Giuliani's interests in the NAFTA Super-Highway and the Kansas City Inland Port?
