Fort Worth Flooding

This flooding video was shot yesterday in Fort Worth by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram

The Trinity River Vision has been touted as a "flood control" project from the start, so they could receive Federal funds (earmarks). 

So what is the Trinity River Vision Authority up to these days?  Tubing on the Trinity for Happy Hour, what else?  Sound like flood control to you?  Read about it here

The Trinity River Vision is providing 600 free inner tubes. Do those getting the free inner tubes get to take them home with them? How much do 600 inner tubes cost? Is buying inner tubes what voters thought they were voting for back in 2004 when, apparently, a bond vote occurred which some claim is what has validated the TRV foolishness and folly which has evolved into massive Happy Hour Inner Tube Parties on the Trinity River?

Starting June 9, Josh Weathers and the True+Endeavors, along with other Texas acts, will make beautiful music from a waterfront stage, serenading the happy hour floaters out in the river, dodging snakes, turtles, alligator gar, assorted toxins and occasional floating fecal matter.

Now, if there is a fatal tragedy, like what happened in the Fort Worth Water Gardens, who is it who will be sued? The Trinity River Vision? The City of Fort Worth? The Tarrant Regional Water District? All of them? Who will pay?

Ultimately You?
