Cruz discusses need for Port of Brownsville ship channel to be deepened
BROWNSVILLE, RGV – U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz has been asked to speed up regulatory environmental review of the liquefied natural gas export terminal projects under consideration at the Port of Brownsville.
The request came from veteran TV broadcaster and commentator Ron Whitlock, whose Ron Whitlock Reports program appears on Televisa in the Rio Grande Valley. In a Q&A session with Cruz in Brownsville on Tuesday, Whitlock said:
“The Port of Brownsville is our big job creator. We have all these LNG firms wanting to spend trillions of dollars once they have been approved. They have not been approved by the Obama regulatory agencies. Can you get the regulatory agencies off our back? South Texas has had them on our back on the 2nd Causeway and on the Port of Brownsville.”
Cruz responded that he is all for streamlining the regulatory process.
“I’m actively urging the (Trump) administration to move forward with regulatory reform. We have seen some positive steps. What they have done so far has been quite good. They need to do more,” Cruz told Whitlock.

I smell some pork in that project and of course we don't need no regulatory control.
