South Texas Chisme remarks on San Antonio's water service rejecting a developer's application for water. A 1700+ acre development!

If only LCRA had been so responsive to our concerns when they chose to supply water to new developments along HPR. LCRA's board, appointed by the governor, just isn't as alive to citizens' concerns as San Antonio's water service, which I'm guessing answers to the city council. Go figure.

Commissioner Gerald Daugherty has been politer than I deserved, and he recently tangibly improved bicycle safety on Hamilton Pool Road. Thanks, Commish.

But out here on The Road, we're still voting for Karen Huber. We need proactive protection for Hamilton Pool, and safeguards in place to protect creeks and their wildlife, before the county builds the roads that bring the development that, unrestricted, destroys our natural resources. And our way of life.

And Gerald is all about roads and development.

Oh: Did I mention Karen's running? I endorsed her weeks ago.

Hi!
Just thought I'd let you know it is official -- I've filed for the Democratic Primary.
Thanks for the encouragement. We're going to WIN this one!

More later!

Cheers,
Karen

Thanks to Commissioner Daugherty for getting us "Share the Road" signs along Hamilton Pool Road! There are three in each direction between RR12 and the Blanco County line.

I think the biggest effect these signs will have is a subliminal message to motorists saying, "The county thinks it's OK for cyclists to ride on these roads."
