[QUOTE="Earl Thigpen, post: 547639, member: 3999"] I haven't heard about the West Texas deal but we have a similar issue with San Antonio buying up ground water from the Gulf Coast Aquafer. Deal was voted in a couple of years ago pushed by that shyster Perry. It was one of those negative vote thing where you had to install a ground water conservation district in the county and if not, San Antonio could buy all the water they wanted and there wouldn't be a thing anyone could do about it. The vote came up again a couple of weeks ago and no one is talking. I doubt it passed. Folks in Lavaca County are not up to speed on things like this. If it means an additional $10 tax they ain't goin' for it. As far as the eminent domain issue, the Texas Leg. sure have drug their feet over reform of ED laws. I'm sure most of you remember the US Supreme Court really stuck it up our a$$' a few years ago when they agreed with one of the eastern states using ED to confiscate private landowners property simply because they could generate more tax base if the property was used for something else. Texas Leg. said they were override that but haven't done it yet. [/QUOTE]
