WHO didn't see that coming?

Concerning the Texans for Government Transparency lawsuit against the Tarrant Regional Water District, the local "news" paper has decided while it may be against the law and unconstitutional, it's okay.  Cause an election would cost money.  Let's see, an election to give the citizens a vote, would cost less than the restaurant the TRWD built for their friend.  ($900,000)  It will also cost less than the $6 million dollar lawsuit against Oklahoma.

Seems if they got some more new blood on the water board, they would spend less on frivolous things.  Sounds like the "news" paper is more worried about keeping "continuity" on the water board.  Now WHY would that be?  Wouldn't they be more concerned about THE PEOPLE having a voice?  And a governmental agency following the law?  Maybe they should be.  Maybe they'll be next...

When they extended the other water board member terms in 2012, Jim Lane voted against it, his thinking was the voters deserved to throw him out after his term if desired.   WHAT changed?  Aside from it's his turn?
