Watchdogs everywhere

The Texas Watchdog is sniffing around the Woodshed too.  Wonder what they'll turn up? 

More dirt on the dealings of the Tarrant Regional Water District or the Trinity River Vision Authority? 

Step right up and place your bets.

Taxpayers foot $970K bill for celebrity chef's smokehouse on Trinity River

Love has competed in Iron Chef and Top Chef Masters. The latter was exposed last month as being part of a pay-to-play scheme, extracting fees from cities in exchange for being used as a Top Chef location.

 

Earlier this month, Granger was derided for failing to show up at a forum at which he promised to explain the $900 million Trinity River Vision project.

 

Granger is the son of U.S. Rep. Kay Granger, who has been a supporter of the Trinity River development but has also been subject to nepotism accusations.

I realize that power tends to corrupt and that human nature makes corruption a reality in just about every organizations/groups and especially communities with people given the public trust. BUT WHAT IS IT ABOUT TARRANT COUNTY THAT ALLOWS THE CONSTANT, AND OFTEN BLATANT, CORRUPTION TO GO ON UNINTERRUPTED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT, LIKE DALLAS WHERE SO-CALLED PUBLIC SERVANTS ARE CAUGHT IN INVESTIGATIONS, RAIDED, TRIED, AND OFTEN PUNISHED IN SOME WAY??
