Wendy, thanks for doing the digging to get this information. What a tragic situation that could have turned out much differently if the elected officials would have SERVED their constituents. This is not the first flood on the Guadalupe River—they have known for a long time the area is prone to flash floods. My heart breaks for the families who will never be whole again.
Exactly. Connecting the tragedy in Kerrville due to officials refusing government funds for an alarm system to the misuse of ARPA funds to expand the jail in Fayetteville is appropriate. We could have an alarm system here that hundreds of youth who could be helped by pre trial services are instead being funneled through a predatory court system.
2 new articles dropped on my substack today. 1 on the replacement for Glyphosate in weed killer (diquat) and 1 on the failures by local, state and federal officials that made the flood that ravaged Camp Mystic in Kerr County, TX become what it became.
Well, there are a lot of great local journalists to follow. And I just hope that I’m not missing something when I pull my resources together. Things are usually more complex than they seem. I appreciate you, Ned. Hope you are doing well.

It’s a nightmare. ❤️🩹

We could do so much better. Thank you for doing the work, Shelley. 🙏🏼❤️

I've come to a resolution of the problem, Wendy: if you live in the U.S., don't believe anything said by anyone anytime. Except you, of course.
