Please look into Corpus Christi, Texas drilling Wells in various counties and aquifers to supplement their ignorant water policies. They’re just starting a 48 inch pipeline filling into the Angelina aquifer as well as many other areas. They have been debating water desalinization and not doing much about that which is my thought. Thoughts would be the best Reso.

Theft of a natural resource and abuse of the system. The state failed to protect the citizens to enrich these private interests.

Cool fact…water is in the air..using a dehumidifier , filter and minerals. individuals can harvest their own water for small uses without being bankrupted.
Don't count on this goverment doing anything.

Freudian slip- his wife is definitely asking about his empathy, specifically lack thereof.

Wealth hoarding resources, is a thing. Laws would stop it. Who is your elected officials representing?
