WHAT water?

The Trinity River Vision (Distraction) has the Tarrant Regional Water District all tied up in Fort Worth.  Watch a couple of minutes of video from the Trinity River Talk that TRIP held this week. John Basham explains that Region C (that's us) is out of water.  What happens to a city that runs out of water?  What happens if that city is already in debt? What happens to the rest of the county?  WHO's next?

If there ain't no water, there ain't no jobs.

More Cheers

Seems some are paying attention, read the Cheer in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Cheers: 

To Layla Caraway, Bob Lukeman and TRIP for winning the Conservation Award at the Glen Rose Film Festival! If you are concerned about out-of-control spending by your government or what's happening with your water, watch Up a Creek. Together, we can make a difference.

One question leads to another

From a concerned observer....

I have a few questions about Tim Love's new restaurant and how it relates to the TRV. I attempted to get some info from TAD. The business is listed as 3201 Riverfront Dr., but that address is not listed with TAD. Numerous properties in that area show to be owned by the water board. Was the land purchased or leased from the water board? If so what was the purchase price or how much is the rent? What is the taxable value of the land? Why is the water board involved in commercial development? I thought their purpose was flood control and water management. This deal seems as stinky as the river itself. If you do not know the answers to these questions, could you please tell me where I should direct them?

Thank You,
P B

We're waiting.....

Class Act

Kudos to TRIP for putting on another stellar event.  In spite of an 'unnamed troublemaker' trying to get their event derailed for the past week, despite the City of Fort Worth backing out and JD Granger being a no show, this group still managed to pull off a very classy, educational evening.  The Society of Professional Journalists asked the citizen's questions and there was no yelling or name calling, unless you count Jim Lane referring to Clyde Picht as colonel.

It was impressive Jim Lane attended when his cohorts backed out.  John Basham shared information on Texas water that all citizens should hear and Steve Hollern was top notch as well.

You can read Durango's review of the TRV Forum here.

Lone Star salutes TRIP, SPJFW and all the 125 plus citizens that attended.  Keep on keeping on!
