  Jennifer Combs of Trinidad TX. Trinity river is a dumping ground and has been for a long while. Can’t wait to hear what she does with the payout.

  Wow Texas so free. Free to not have clean drinking water.

    Well, if they want drinkable water then the market will provide it

  I’m not watching Fux news. What did they charge her with?

    Felony false alarm or report under Texas Penal Code § 32.06 for saying she had heard reports of hospitalizations from drinking the water, but the police had not heard any such reports. She’s now suing the city.

    Fox News Channel is a far right cable “news” channel. This is a segment from a Fox Broadcasting affiliate in Dallas. They are not the same thing.

      It’s not the same thing but it’s not unrelated. It’s owned by the same company that owns Fox News.

      It’s all Fux and Rupert Murdoch.

    Saw this earlier this morning. Was not surprised it was Texas. Government there doesn’t really care about the citizens and is most concerned about keeping power.

    Public reports of basic civic failures that cause sickness and death would obviously be silenced.

    Notice the lack of urgency by the mayor and other authorities, and the fact she had to file a civil case to get any response at all.

    The movie Brazil was supposed to be absurdist. It was not a model for governance.

      This is what authoritarianism is. Laws don’t matter, say or do anything that is critical of the state and you’re in handcuffs.
