When Governor Perry's Transportation Advisor Kris Heckmann spoke he attempted to defended the Trans-Texas Corridor Plan. At one point he even defended the Governor personally when the audience was unimpressed by his reference to Perry's ranching and farming background. "Be careful," cautioned one lady in attendance, "there are some real dirt farmers in this room," she continued. (06.28.04)

Heckmann's presentation was a mixed bag of trying to sell the corridor concept and defending components of the state's plan. None of what he had to say addressed the concerns or issues of those living in Coupland. (06.28.04)
