Sit tight.

We hear you, Haltom City. 

Apparently the election isn't the only thing going on over there. 

We're getting through your emails and reports as quick as we can.

In the meantime, keep the emails coming. 

We especially love the ones with direct quotes from management employees on the elections.

Mary Kelleher censures the TRWD Board

We did not see Durango in the large crowd of Mary Kelleher's supporters at the TRWD  Board's special meeting called to censure Mary.

But, Durango must have been an eye witness to the nonsense, judging by his description of the meeting in his blog post titled Today Mary Kelleher Received The Badge Of Honor Of A TRWD Board Censure While Censuring The Board Herself.

Apparently Durango thought he was watching an animated sit-com combined with a soap opera.

TUESDAY!!!!!!!

Stand with Mary Kelleher.

The Tarrant Regional Water District has apparently called a special meeting for Tuesday @ 9:30 a.m. at 800 E. Northside Drive in Fort Worth. 

This special meeting seems to be all in honor of Mary Kelleher.  Seems the other board members want to censure Mary.  Those of us who voted for her (there were a bunch) want to censure the board instead.

Come up Tuesday, YOU don't want to miss it.

It's going to be fun!

Let us count the ways...

Royalty Rip-off

Around the country, landowners are suing Chesapeake and other drillers for massive deductions from royalty checks.

Read the Fort Worth Weekly cover story for the scoop.

Royalty income from the first month’s production alone totaled more than $8,500.

But five months later, with the wells still producing the same amount of gas, his royalty check suddenly shrank by more than 80 percent, to just under $1,700, eaten away by what Chesapeake called “post-production costs.” In the following months, his checks dwindled even further, to almost nothing.

“In October 2013, I got a check that said my royalty was $6,000,” said Feusner, “but after one set of deductions it was reduced to $115; after another adjustment it dropped further. They wound up taking 99.3 percent of my royalty. I got $46.”

Our 5th Birthday present

Yesterday, April 10, was the 5th anniversary of the day we started this blog, with our primary motivation being flood control and water issues.

Click this link to watch the video about flooding in Fort Worth and residents joining together to save lives and property.

WHO is in the background of the video shots?

Mary Kelleher.

A Tarrant Regional Water District Board member meeting with residents about flooding? With the Flood Plain Administrator? We couldn't ask for a better present.

Thank you to The Historic Randol’s Mill Valley Alliance and Channel 11.

And to all our dear friends, here's to the next five!
