Murray & Basham Ask Hard Questions

Culture of Corruption at TRWD ?

Fort Worth, Texas - April 29, 2010 - After last weeks revelation in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that board members routinely hold discussions, debate, receive briefings, and make decisions in committee well before their vote in an "open meeting". Adrian Murray and John Basham have question the legal issues regarding these board members ignoring the Texas Open Meetings Laws. Further, Murray and Basham fear these directors have opened the district to serious legal challenge of all decision made while this process has been in place over the last four years.

The Texas Attorney General's guide to open meetings shows this is an even more significant issue with this board as it acts as a "RUBBER STAMP" for all decisions coming before the board over the last fours years. This board has voted unanimously to approve all actions recommended from committees 100% of the time during this period.

Signs Disappear & Owners Intimidated

Over the last few days the Murray and Basham campaign have been getting a number of reports from property owners that they have been called by one of their opponents and bullied into having their campaign signs removed.

Mr. Basham said, "Imagine getting a call from an elected official who has the power of eminent domain, taxing, and your water rates at their control." He went on to say,"I expect that is one tense phone call. When your asked why our signs are on your property. Clearly it's bullying and it's wrong!"

While the complaints from property owners and campaign supporters continue to arrive. The Murray and Basham campaign is reminding everyone, "Signs don't win elections votes do. If our opponents want to spend their days tracking down owners names and numbers where our signs reside to spread around a little intimidation and bullying, so be it." They have also said, "We'll spend our time talking to the voters and spreading the truth about the out of control 'Culture of Corruption' at the Tarrant Regional Water District."

Culture of Corruption? You Bet!

Adrian Murray and John Basham have spent the last few months talking to organizations and voters about the out of control "Culture of Corruption" at the Tarrant Regional Water District.

They have explained how the management, not the board, is setting the agenda and how that same management is living high on-the-hog using your tax dollars as their very own personal piggy bank.

In a mailer set to arrive in homes across the district early this next week. The campaign spells out just a small sampling of the ways this District and this Board continue to operate under this "Culture of Corruption"
