Hail Mary!

Don Woodard has done it again. You don't want to miss it. It's too much fun.And truthful. Guess we don't have to mention that it's in the Fort Worth Business Press. An excerpt:"The silence of the water board, city council, commissioners court and our...

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...

Shots fired

Last year it was a rescued shelter dog, wagging its tail.  This time, it was a grandfather protecting his property.  The wife of the man killed by Fort Worth police is "disgusted" and wants answers.  Wouldn't YOU?See it on N...

Too little too late

The editorial in the Bipolar paper today gives us enough material for the rest of the week. The TRWD isn't the only group in need of a "slap in the face" as the Fort Worth Star-Telegram says.  They, themselves are in need of one.  The "news"...

And THAT is how you report the News

As usual, the FW Weekly lays it out for you. Wonder WHO will get the story when the board is tossed out on their butt?  We don't.Among other things, he said the water board has become a “vehicle used by arrogant, overreaching politicians and bureaucrats...

If it walks like a duck...

We found some interesting comments on the Dallas Observer article about the TRWD race.Vote BNK tomorrow.There needs to be a house-cleaning at that board. The Star-Telegram is totally in bed with the incumbents. The fact they both freaked out then clammed...

Well look WHO's back

Richard Connor jumps in the Water Board race. Good thing, cause his paper didn't do the best job on reporting.  No mention that the incumbents have received all their donations from their contractors.The ones they will turn around and give...

WHO to vote for in the water board race?

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...

GET UP AND GET OUT

That's what the latest piece of propaganda from the Trinity River Vision says.Odd isn't it that they had a mailer out now, just days before the election?  Odd isn't it that it looks just like the TRWD mailer?We couldn't agree more, GET UP Saturday...

Down in flames

That's what is happening in the "news" paper industry.  Read about it on InvestorPlace.com.Apparently the Fort Worth Star-Telegram isn't the best investment.  Maybe if they did reporting, instead of free advertising for their friends downtown,...

Water Board Smear Campaign

We aren't the only ones noticing a pattern here. You'll be happy to know our dear reader has a sign.-----Tried to get this letter to the editor regarding the Star-Telegram smear campaign but they would not print it.Re:  Big money is pouring into...

Older than the Watchdog

Earlier we mentioned Former Fort Worth Star-Telegram Watchdog, Dave Lieber, was to host a forum of the TRWD candidates. Only one incumbent responded to Lieber's request.  Per his Facebook page, quoted below,we learn that the board knows better because...

What are the odds?

That on a day that the Fort Worth Star-Telegram has three pieces in their "news" paper on the Tarrant Regional Water District challengers that a mailer from the incumbents shows up with a Fort Worth Star-Telegram logo across it?Thanks to Breitbart for...

What's in it for him?

We keep getting that question about a local 'news' paper food critic. In addition to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram posting a fluff article a day on the Trinity River Vision/Tarrant Regional Water District, last night they posted two 'opinion' pieces on...

It's about damn time.

YOU need to read the Tarrant Regional Water District article at Breitbart.com.Yes, we said TRWD news article.  If you want to read "opinion" pieces, you know where to go.When you're done reading, mark your calendar.  Saturday, go vote. ...

Nothing was ever done, it just got worse...

We noticed when people were searching for information on the Tarrant Regional Water District elections, they were sometimes being directed to the information on the TRWD election in 2010.(An election was to be held in 2012, but the water board voted...

You can take that to the BANK

TRWD living high on the hog

Has the Trinity River Vision started their Tubing the Trinity, Rocking on the River, Floating with Feces events early this year?  The pig floating in the river seems to indicate that is the case.Looks like they invited Captain Clean and he's...

Place your bets

We've been discussing how many times the TRWD incumbent promoting, TRV shilling "news" paper (Fort Worth Star-Telegram) would run fluff articles this week about TRWD.  We didn't have to wait long. Though what does it say when the fluff articles...

Change "and" to "but"

And the Fort Worth Star-Telegram could have saved some ink.The unbalanced, biased story on the Tarrant Regional Water Board election, is just further proof Tarrant County needs a real newspaper (aside from Fort Worth Weekly, they can't do it all, too much corruption, not enough reporters).How many ST reporters does it take to write a balanced article?...

What they really said...

We have received numerous complaints about the Fort Worth Star-Telegram this week.  More than usual.  A lot have to do with their lack of response, or fair reporting in the Tarrant Regional Water Board race. Some have to do with the editing of letters.  We've heard all these complaints for years.  Finally fed up? ...

Voter Beware! Insider interest in the TRWD election!

The incumbents spokespeople (notice you haven't heard a peep from the incumbents themselves) are trying to make you think outside interests are controlling the water board race. Do they mean the donations they have received from out of state?Maybe you should be more concerned with the inside interests.Contributions to the incumbents read like a WHO's...

Voters Beware! Outside interest in the TRWD water board election!

"Voters beware" is what a campaign mailer from the water board incumbents read.  Mayor Price was concerned that outside interests were trying to take over your water supply!  First of all, WHAT water supply?Second of all, has Mayor Price seen the incumbents campaign donations?   The incumbents are getting money from Dallas (GASP!)...

Adrian says...

Need another reason to vote out the current board of the TRWD? How about 1,800,073? That's the combined salaries of the top ten highest paid staff members, as approved by the board. Vote Basham, Nold and Kelleher and send the message that you're not an ATM.There's a lot of folks talking about the water board race.YOU should be.www.BNK2013....

Durango Says...

It ain't YOUR board.It belongs to THE PEOPLE.  I think Marty Leonard's morally bankrupt low blow directed at John Basham is a fairly good indicator of the quality of character Marty Leonard possesses. She being a self-entitled dowager heiress who...

SOLD

To the highest bidder. Yesterday YOUR politicians voted to sell YOU and YOUR roads. Watch out, they are after YOUR water, too. (Don't forget to vote BNK!)While it's clever to say the toll element is 'optional,' whether or not Hwy 290, Hwy 183, I-35,...
