More than two dozen state lawmakers have signed a letter urging the U.S. Department of Transportation to end work related to a high-speed rail project that would pass through the Brazos Valley.
The letter, written by District 13 State. Rep. Ben Leman, says the project’s developer, Texas Central Partners, “simply does not have the financial resources required or expertise employed to continue with this project.”

Lois Kolkhorst of Brenham, state Sen. Charles Schwertner of Georgetown and state Rep. Kyle Kacal of Bryan.
