The overseer forces—looking down on Lake Brazos dam In
Waco, have made a career out of fouling It up. A large slice of
Clifton City revenue Is going to that same apparatua.
According to a Waco newspaper, the Clifton water customers
are also obligated for the allocation of any entity to the south.
The overseer forces would also like to rig Clifton to pay Interest
on the debts of another entity—with no benefit to us.
We could be on a collusion course. We have too many patterns
of unanimity—without regard for the voters.
Looking at our own Interests, the entire concept Is a departure
from pragmatic procedure.
