TX vs.OK

No, not football. Water.

What a tangled web...

WHO is JC Watts?

Last August the city of Irving was criticized for making a deal with Hugo, OK to purchase water. The mayor of Irving said he couldn't wait for the Tarrant Regional Water District or anyone else for something so crucial. Makes perfect sense to us.

The water district has spent their time and money on "more important" things like paying the Eppstein group to promote Trinity Uptown, paying lobbyist to secure more federal money for Trinity Uptown, and paying double the value for land needed for Trinity Uptown. (This week the water district agreed to spend $286,000 for a 0.3868 acre lot valued at $129,903).

Isn't their job to ensure we have water in the future and protect from flooding? Maybe the Irving mayor should run for the water board. We'd vote for him.
