Our contributors have questions too.
I just watched the City Council in their hearing with TCEQ and Brian B.
I'm running through too many barf bags this afternoon. This makes me sick. The Council is doing a ballet dance to try to appear concerned while assisting industry in denying responsibility. I thought I would need a 10 gallon receptacle to get me thru Burdette's speech. These people are shills for industry and don't have a clue what questions to ask anyone--not that they really give a damn.
The very idea that they can get answers by asking CHK and XTO to make some measurements and come up with suggestions on how they can improve--is ludicrous on its face. First they wouldn't know what the answers meant, and secondly what makes them think it isn't going to be all crafted by the PR department. And as usual, it's all lies.
Why would you rely on them to tell the truth?????
We have to remember who the City Council are and what they do. They are natural gas drilling profiteers, whether indirectly from campaign contributions and other "supports" OR directly like the mayor and one other rep. who's always recusing himself due to conflict of interests--unlike the ethically bankrupt mayor. The mayor is so committed to helping his friends the gassers that he ignores ethical and legal concerns as well as any historical legacy. Has anyone ever wondered why he "punished" a certain council rep. by stripping her of her beloved title of Mayor Pro Tem? I have mine but want to see what others think. That action by the mayor was a major "slap" not only for the councilperson but also for her family and supporters in the African-American community. Theories???
