  Special Edition: Remembering Ric Williamson

  Texas Transportation Commission chairman and former state legislator Ric Williamson died of a heart attack on December 30, 2007 at the age of 55. His legacy is unfinished, having not lived to see how his work to find alternative means of funding transportation in Texas will turn out. Between addressing tolling, indexing or raising the gasoline tax, and public-private partnerships as ways to help Texas keep pace with a population growing by 1,000 new people each day, the commissioner had his share of supporters as well as detractors. But, as Randall Dillard tells us, commissioner Williamson never backed away from a difficult issue.
