No Surprise

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram Editorial Board endorses the incumbents in the Tarrant Regional Water District election.  Trivia question for those playing along at home, when haven't they? We do have to give them credit, they gave the challengers and their points credit.  Even though we strongly disagree with their endorsement and some of their claims, we encourage you to read it all...you can't AFFORD not to.  Lots of good questions, ASK.

Although one of the most important public bodies in the area, the Tarrant Regional Water District is probably the least understood of the county's taxing authorities.

Only voters in the six cities within the district (Fort Worth, Azle, Edgecliff Village, Westworth Village, Westover Hills and most of River Oaks) elect its five-member board. 

Challengers Murray and Basham no doubt are competent individuals who are eager to give back to their community. They have credible ideas and questions that deserve to be asked and answered.

But Leonard and Lane, with their long and rich history of public service, have demonstrated the skills, commitment and vision needed to be excellent board members on this most important public body.

The top two vote-getters on May 8 will be elected.

Texas Lone Star Telegraph proudly endorses Adrian Murray and John Basham. Early voting starts Monday.  VOTE!
