Truth-telling Harvey Kronberg (Quorum Report) is always there for us Texas independents on the race to the bottom of the swamp of Texas politics. At a time when we're all hurting from a terrible disaster that didn't have to be so terrible, we have to face the hard facts of life in Texas. Keep this in your hearts, folks, as we find a way out of this other disaster. We call it Texas two-party political hustle. Harvey Kronberg, "Legislative assault on local control undermines emergency response capacity."
Important Water Update from Simsboro Aquifer Water Defense Fund: "We have an aquifer protection item action that needs your help --- but first, we must acknowledge the catastrophic loss of life and property in the recent flooding events. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the affected families. Please support those who need it most.
The regular 2025 legislative session has ended --- but two things are happening: a hearing in the Natural Resources Committee in the House (HNRC) on July 15 (we are asking for your action!) and the start of a special session called by Gov. Abbott on July 21.
We need your "water focus" for the July 15 hearing in the House.
Andy Wier's legislative update is attached --- please read and take action. It's easy to do ONLINE.
If you don't have a well affected by Vista Ridge*, you probably know what others have experienced ---- you can certainly comment on how you feel about big export projects. Even if you don't have a well, focus on our # 2 and #3 talking points, and then add any additional relevant thoughts about exporting groundwater away from where it originates and/or sustainability of our aquifers as the lifeblood of Texas.

We appreciate Amy Smith's Austin Chronicle article of July 11 article on the absurdity of Austin City Hall's insistence on bending to the will of the privateering downtown hotel lobby.It's all coming to a head as the City also appears intent on raising taxes while $5B in tourism dollars is being wasted, when it could and should be used to shore up Austin's local economy dependent on live music, arts and parks.
