Change "and" to "but"

And the Fort Worth Star-Telegram could have saved some ink.

The unbalanced, biased story on the Tarrant Regional Water Board election, is just further proof Tarrant County needs a real newspaper (aside from Fort Worth Weekly, they can't do it all, too much corruption, not enough reporters).

How many ST reporters does it take to write a balanced article?  Two and an editor wrote the latest, so the answer has to be, at least four?

The quote comes from none other than Vic Henderson, long time water board incumbent.  It's one of the first things he's said in the race.  Otherwise he uses his spokespeople (Kay Granger, J.D. Granger, Bud Kennedy, Betsy Price and Marty Leonard & the ST).

The water district is responsible for 27 miles of the river, he said, and has formed partnerships to provide amenities.

If you change "and" to "but" you'll know WHY the 7th street gang doesn't want anyone else on the board.  If you read the list of donors to the incumbents, you'll know exactly what partnerships he's referring to. 

WHY is the water district providing amenities?  Shouldn't they be providing water?

WHY is the Fort Worth Star-Telegram letting water district employees speak on the race?  WHO is the new owner of ST? 

Read Durango's take on the "article".  As usual, it's a much better read than the paper.
