It's alive...

For years we and others have been trying to get the Fort Worth Star-Telegram to get involved with the Tarrant Regional Water District issues.  By getting involved we meant looking into water supply and flooding issues, not cheerleading for the Trinity River Vision and their hair brained schemes (ie - Floating with Feces, Wakeboarding, Drive-in's and restaurants for their buddies).

Now that the TRWD was slapped in the face in the Supreme Court the Fort Worth Star-Telegram wants to hear from YOU.  We don't know how bad they will mangle your letter, or how many won't get printed, but here's the info:

The Supreme Court’s decision that Oklahoma doesn’t have to sell water to the Tarrant Regional Water District means Fort Worth and Dallas may become very unpopular across North Texas. It puts more pressure on the thirsty big cities to increase supplies in ways like building the Marvin Nichols Reservoir near Mount Pleasant, where the project is very unpopular. Are we bad guys when it comes to water?

Send no more than 150 words with your name, home address and daytime phone to letters@star-telegram.com. Deadline is Wednesday for publication next Monday.
