Where can you get the real local news?


Good letter from Clyde Picht in today's Fort Worth Star-Telegram regarding last Wednesday's Trinity River Vision Discussion Forum at the Botanic Garden...

Real local news

On Wednesday night, 125 people attended a panel discussion of the Trinity River Vision and regional water issues at the Botanic Garden lecture hall. The event was sponsored by the Trinity River Improvement Partnership and moderated by the Society of Professional Journalists to acquaint residents with the pros and cons of the TRV and concerns about future water supply.

On Thursday, the Star-Telegram reported on a stuffed Cape buffalo being auctioned off over the weekend. On Friday, the newspaper reported on Amarillo's Lake Meredith going dry, a potbelly pig that was put down, 14 protesters in Burnett Park and the usual photos of socialite activities.

Thank you, Star-Telegram, for maintaining your tradition of reporting sports, fluff and yesterday's news from the Drudge Report.
