Well, Groutie, I have a problem with a state agency neglecting a state property. In the end you and I will pay what ever it takes to fix or remove the dams. And as you so brilliantly pointed out, there is a safety issue that will have to be addressed.
PS: you can't fix stupid. If kids in kayaks got washed away, I would simply shake my head and move on. You can't fix stupid.


You don't seem to have any skin in the game, why are you still hanging around? To troll? You are doing a good job, do you have a degree in trolling?

Nah, hearing you guys constantly cry about this is great entertainment. None of you want to foot the bill and y’all all wanted to sue GBRA when the Dunlop dam broke. Well...let’s see you sue them for safety concerns.

And no sir, no skin of mine whatsoever in those lakes. I am one of the few that doesn’t have an agenda, such as yourself, I can see things for how they really are. Keep those blinders on.

What is my agenda?

Bill is right here. The school districts and counties will have a shortfall when all these "crybabies" lose 40% of their home value. These counties and school districts will not just eat that shortfall. They will just raise taxes on everyone who lives in the county or passes through. Besides the lost money on property, Bill mentions how this is going to crush businesses in the area that have been built around a lake economy for over 100 years. Cypress trees and others, over 100 years old will die. Wells are going dry that aren't even close to the lakes. The effects of GBRA's greed and lack of planning will hurt literally 1000's of people.

Either way, all taxpayers will pay more. The government will find a way to make up for the shortfall.

This would maybe be a viable argument if there wasn't any new growth in the area. Drive around and notice all the new construction in homes and businesses.
Those people are coming to the area in droves, and not for the lakes. People moving from high taxed states where even a tax hike here would be nothing to them.

Don’t quit smoking that crack pipe because you won’t like the real world. Comal county has plenty of tax revenue and don’t try to tell me that Seguin will get any worse than it already is.

You honestly believe that Comal and Guadalupe Countys are going to cut their budgets by the amount of tax loss from the lake properties? You can bet your left handed cigarettes they will raise taxes to offset the loss.

You never have told me what my agenda is.

You’re agenda is being a crybaby who’s trying to get people against GBRA, which as you can tell from these multiple threads....people don’t care all that much; because of what the homeowner’s At McQueeny have done.


Not sure what you’re “left handed cigarette” comment is supposed to mean, since I don’t smoke. But you can bet your left handed cigarette, that no tax appraisal district is going to drop the values of the property surrounding the lakes, they are still water front property and will be charged accordingly. . Apparently you fellas have not seen the houses being built in Mystic Shores, there is NO school tax money shortage. Try hard to think of something else now to use against the lakes being drained.....

Are you guys going to cry when the landowners around McQueeny get their dam rebuilt or are you two owners at that lake.


Hey, I know what they should do! They should leave these old gates in place so people can get killed when they break, Billy needs a place to fish.

I have to admit you are right. My agenda is to expose GBRA and their negligence. It's plain to see you are OK with a state agency neglecting their responsibilities and letting taxpayer owned assets go to waste. And I'm sure you are OK with the same old "the taxpayer will just pay more to fix it'. I;m sure you are OK with the GBRA board continuing to go to their resorts for parties and building new office buildings. Well, when you and your socialists buddies get it your way, you will find the money stream will dry up. Then what?

Comal County is one of the fastest growing counties in the state. What you are not considering is that GBRA controls all the Guadalupe river in all the counties south of Comal too. From the lower half of Dunlap, the start of Guadalupe County, the growth is not there. The tax bases are not near as flush with money. Comal County can take the loss of revenue on the upper end of Lake Dunlap. The counties and school districts south of that cannot.

Actually William, I don’t really care what GBRA does with their moneys and how they spend it. They make their money selling water and they sale a lot of it. Now let’s discuss your “socialist comment”, it appears that you would be the socialist; because you are the one expecting someone else to take care of the dams for you and to supply you with a lake to ride your little jet skis on.

You must be AOC's brother and Bernie's son. You are just as crazy as they are.

Yes, I expect the state agency to take care of the assets assigned to them. I don't see any other way for it to be.

I don't ride a jet ski, never have never will.

That’s the best you can come up with? I have never voted Democrat and probably won’t ever vote that way. I have learned that the weak like to use those types of tactics in their arguments though.

So, let’s recap. You have no valid reasons as to why GBRA should keep these lakes full when 2 of the 4 dams have failed and all the gates are approximately the same age.

Pay close attention idiot! I have never said the lakes should be kept full, only maintained that GBRA was/is negligent and should be dissolved. Period, end of discussion.
