Most of us here at Lone Star are all lifelong Texans, the rest got here as quick as they could. We love Texas though sadly, these days, we can relate to WHY people would be asking that question.
Here's a few things just to get the ball rolling -
We have some of the worst air in the nation. Instead of working with the EPA to correct it, some Texas politicians are fighting them claiming, "we'll lose jobs". Uh, dead people don't need jobs.
You want to drill next to homes, rivers, creeks, schools? No problem, make a donation to a campaign, church, library or museum and it's yours.
We can't afford to give money to our schools. Though we can apparently afford to give some of those air polluting friends of our politicians tax rebates. That means WE are paying the refineries. Did we mention we can't afford to fund our schools?
We are in the top 5 in the nation for horrid traffic messes. Mind you, we're building freeways all around, however they ain't free. Most of those will be toll roads and we'll be paying our politicians friends in Spain to drive on them.
The Fort Worth Business Press once said, "Tarrant County may be the eminent domain capital ..." If you live here or own a business here, tread carefully as it could be taken by our politicians friends, such as the gas drillers, the Tarrant Regional Water District (or Trinity River Vision Authority) or even Jerry Jones. Don't forget TXDOT.
Our water supply is dwindling faster than you can frac a well. Our plan? Sue Oklahoma, again. We've already lost several times, but you can't tell a Texan no...no matter how much it costs taxpayers.
And don't get us started on the "news" in Texas. They've been bought and brought to you by you-know-who...
What's all this costing YOU? More importantly, what is it going to cost YOUR kids? Do something. Anything. YOUR kids will thank you.
