Rural-urban media release hit BIG
Our rural-urban media release hit BIG that Texans are uniting to stop the California water
On Monday, the first city in the “forced donor” area — Smithville (Bastrop County) — uanimously passed this resolution against Vista Ridge. The next night, a similar resolution was passed in Castle Hills, an independent municipality surrounded by San Antonio! There is definately push back happening in San Antonio, now that the message of 50% rate hikes for Vista Ridge (stair stepped over the next 4 years) is out. Note: No one knows yet what happens after 2020!
Next Thursday, November 19, the San Antonio City Council is slated to vote on the City’s water rate structure and rates for Vista Ridge. But, from last night’s hearing, the air in San Antonio has the smell of a ratepayer revolt. Am I dreaming?
Very Important Vista Ridge Events!
►This Saturday in San Antonio, LIV is running a phone bank to generate calls from San Antonians to their Council members and Mayor to stop Vista Ridge. Please come! Details here.
►Next Monday at 6:30 pm, the San Antonio Tea Party is co-sponsoring this event with LIV on Vista Ridge, “What does Vista Ridge Mean for the Ratepayers of San Antonio?” Spread the word from here and show up San Antone!
LIV filed 5500 signatures against Vista Ridge with the City of San Antonio — 3300 of those were from Burleson. Hundreds were from Milam, Brazos, Lee, and Bastrop. Bexar County sign ups online are picking up steam, thanks to a mention from San Antonio Firefighters! Keep pushing it all from our home page.
