Why we call Daniels' "Commerce Connector" TCC-I69
We prefer to call Daniels' "Commerce Connector"
TCC-I69 or Tolled Commerce Connector I-69.
Daniel's "CC" is I-69.
By federal law I-69 in Indiana must be studied (not
necessarily built)
as four Sections of Independent Utility (SIU) of NAFTA Corridor 18,
{Section 115 (c) of the Intermodal Transportation Efficiency Act of
1991 (Public Law 102-240; 105 Stat. 2032)}

Until Daniels' "Commerce Connector" was moved up to study status,
only two of those studies had been started.
COUNT US! Thanks Monroe County Surveyor Kevin Enright for this further
proof that Governor Daniels' "Commerce Connector" is I-69, Corridor 18
SIU #2.
Mr. Enright directed us to Chapter 6 page 2 of the "Corridor 18 Special
Issues Study"
To see it for your self, reference that page on this PDF document

- Provision of new Interstate-type facility as a partial
outer
loop around the east and south of the area, generally along S.R. 9
(eastern portion and S.R. 44 (southern portion).
- Estimated order of magnitude cost = $1,200 million.

Related facts to be considered:
Including Daniels new TCC-69, if
I-69 is connected from Mexico to
Canada, it will be over 84 miles longer than two existing non-tolled
interstate systems. http://www.i69tour.org/maps.html
Indiana is #4 in rural interstate density after Vermont, Pennsylvania
and Illinois.
Indiana is #1 (some say as low as #4) in the percentage of jobs lost
since NAFTA.
There is no reliable relationship that can be demonstrated between
interstates and jobs.http://www.assmotax.org/I69/InterstatevJobloss.php
Our opinion:
Those who believe that more
interstates will bring jobs aren't thinking, they are stating their
unfounded bias.
Those who think a private segmented for profit NAFTA toll road is going
to bring Hoosiers jobs and prosperity are not worthy of leadership or
our trust.
