Still no "news"

People keep showing up here wanting to know what's going on with the Tarrant Regional Water District recount.  We even received an email inquiring since there was "nothing in today's paper".  Our first thought was, when is there?  And our second was, WHY is a recount of this scale and magnitude not being reported on?  Oh yes, we live in Tarrant County, that's why.  Where there is no paper of record (aside from the FW Weekly).  Where the "news" source and its columnist spend their time kissing butt to whoever is already in office.  Ever wondered, WHAT'S in it for them?

We do know, after seeing the recount rules, that they too need an overhaul.  Anything that puts a water board member, that wrote NEGATIVE letters containing false information about candidates, as the head of the recount, needs to be reformed.  Immediately. 

And WHY would incumbents be watching the recount?  One that had many votes, and one that scraped by with 90.  Ever wondered, WHAT'S in it for them?

Stay tuned, maybe soon, we'll all know why.  And maybe a national news organization will tell us, since the locals won't.

Anyone 'round here want to buy a paper?
