Texas Railroad Commission Railroading

The Railroad Commission wrote a letter to the paper?  To try and spin their image?  Is it any coincidence this was done during the week of their Sunset Review in Austin? Or the same week two more federal lawsuits were announced concerning water contamination due to gas drilling in the Barnett Shale?

Many of our fellow neighbors and friends made the trip to Austin yesterday to testify about the Railroad Commission.  Many that did the reviewing were not pleased with the agency and its performance, or lack thereof.

The letter says "Our investigation will not be distracted by press releases or politics".  What about campaign contributions and cash gifts?  That question was raised yesterday.  Do YOU want an answer?  Demand it.
