Ted Houghton named Chairman of the Texas Transportation Commission
Thursday, Oct. 6, marked an important day for the Texas Transportation Commission: Deirdre Delisi resigned from her position as chairman of the Commission to serve as Gov. Perry's chief policy advisor for his presidential campaign. Since 2008, Delisi has been an important leader in maintaining and improving the Texas transportation system.
Today (Friday, Oct. 7), Gov. Perry named Ted Houghton as the new chairman of the Commission. Houghton, the first resident of El Paso to serve on the Commission, was first appointed to the Commission in 2003 by Gov. Perry and was reappointed in 2009. Read Houghton's full statement here.
"...Houghton brings a passionate — and articulate — defense of the pro-business and pro-privatization approach Perry has long championed. Houghton has been one of the fiercest advocates for an untrammeled pursuit by TxDOT of partnerships with private firms to finance and operate Texas toll roads." said Michael Lindenberger in a Transportation Blog post today.
Well said Michael. We look forward to seeing the great things Houghton will achieve as Texas Transportation Commission's chairman. He has been a true leader as a member of the Commission and will undoubtedly help ensure Texas' transportation system continues to improve and remains successful and economically viable future for all Texans.
