Texans for True Mobility
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Texans for True Mobility (TTM) is a 501(c)6 non-profit organization based in Houston, Texas. The organization has published studies and engaged in advertising campaigns that are critical of Houston's METRORail transit system.
The group was most engaged in the November 2003 Houston referendum on light rail construction. The group spent $1.5 Million on advertisements advocating the rejection of the proposal. The proposal was approved by a slim majority. [1]
[edit] Donor Controversy
The group famously refused to disclose its donors in the days preceding the November 2003 referendum, claiming that it was under no legal obligation to do so.[2] In March of 2004 it was revealed that one of the larger backers of the organization was U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay, despite his public neutrality on the light rail issue. [3]
