The usually quiet Tarrant Regional Water District race is causing quite a stir. It's usually quiet because regular citizens don't usually have the option to stand up to the "7th Street Gang". They prefer it that way.
But this race is different. Three challengers are creating a lot of excitement. You may have read about it in the "news" paper, seeing as how they had several articles in just ONE day this week. And of course, the daily mandatory Trinity River Vision promotion article (did you know the drive-in opens on Friday. The parking lot YOU paid for. Convenient, isn't it?). WHO knew a water board election was so important? WHY has one never received that much coverage in Fort Worth Star-Telegram history? Until they voted to postpone their last election, there has been one every two years, right? They ST always told you to vote for the incumbents. Have you ever asked WHY?
We noticed it was quieter today. We can't help but wonder if that had to do with an outside news organization writing an expose on the TRWD, asking WHY the ST hasn't. Valid question.
There have been many accusations about the challengers by the incumbents spokespeople. Notice, they, themselves aren't talking much. They couldn't be bothered to show up at forums. They couldn't even be bothered to return a phone call. Don't they work for YOU? These don't.
Notice they are having the challengers attacked personally. Notice the challengers are attacking their record. What they have done or not done while they've been on the board the last 60 years (combined)? Need proof? Go here.
Someone is standing up for YOU. Don't miss the opportunity. Be a part of it.
VOTE Basham, Nold and Kelleher on Saturday.
YOUR kids will thank you.
