I've heard that the reason they added them is to provide non-term limited 
political continuity so that a future governor can't easy undo Rick Perry's 
current plan that the road lobby strongly supports. -- Roger

My understanding is that the new members were added to make the Commission 
more geographically diverse and to lessen the power of the 3-member 
Commission.  Legislators were tired of going before the 3-members 
hat-in-hand with their local government constituents to plead for 
transportation funds.
