Dear Lone Star,
I wanted to write a letter of support for John Basham and Adrian Murray for the Tarrant Regional Water District, yes, I know I don't get a vote - that's part of the point. However, I missed the "deadline" for election letters to the local newspaper. The "other" local newspaper acted like this election isn't happening. Instead of taking the opportunity to educate the citizens on an issue that is going to have major impacts on their future, the media keeps quiet, limits the information or publishes propaganda pieces. So here's the letter I couldn't get printed, I am hoping I haven't missed your deadline, since the election hasn't happened yet.
Thanks for all you do!
The Star Telegram has said Fort Worth alone has a billion dollars worth of flooding problems. They have also said that the Trinity River Vision needs fiscal responsibility (another billion). Then they endorse the same ol' incumbents. They praised John Basham and Adrian Murray, running for the Tarrant Regional Water District. But then told you to vote for the incumbents. Why would citizens who are tired of the good ol' boy network, tired of having their tax dollars committed, without a say, tired of seeing their tax money wasted, vote for the same folks who have thrown away millions of our dollars? All behind closed doors. Those of us affected by flooding who don’t get to vote in the Water District race, ask that you vote for Basham and Murray. Two individuals who want to return the District to do what it was created to do – provide for and protect citizens in “all or part of eleven counties”. It’s your money, it’s your water, and it’s your future. Save it.
VOTE SATURDAY!

Note to the paper- it's called insanity when you keep doing the same thing over and over again(supporting incumbents) and expect different results.
This year it's "deadline", last year they "lost" the election letters.
You be the judge...
