Received the below email over the weekend...probably because I signed some petition to save the park? So, maybe, it is NOT a done deal? Probably just a political dog and pony show so they can say they tried. We shall see, I guess.

Ken,

I am thrilled to update you on the exciting progress we have made towards preserving Fairfield Lake State Park. As you may know, the State of Texas has invested $70 million in the preservation and operation of this beloved State Park, which welcomes 80,000 visitors a year. It’s a huge point of pride for Freestone County! To ensure that this beautiful natural resource is protected for generations to come, I have filed House Bill 2332, which gives Texas Parks and Wildlife the power and authority to preserve this state park, rather than having it sold off for parts. Even more exciting is that State Representative Cody Harris has joined me in authoring this legislation, putting tremendous momentum behind getting this passed. And beyond that, State Senator Charles Schwertner has filed the companion bill in the Texas Senate ensuring that both chambers of the legislature are working hard to ensure this state park is preserved for you! I am committed to keeping you updated on all the details of this legislation's movement through the Texas Legislature. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you for your support and dedication to preserving our community's treasures.

God Bless You!

Angelia Orr

Republican State Representative

Hope is better than nothing at all!
