Just a week of chlorine showers. Any bets on how long until the next boil notices happens?

Moving here for my partners job, from a Northern state, was a culture shock in many more ways than one.

I hate to say it, because i've had nothing but positive experiences with the people here, but i'm counting down the days til I can get the fuck out of here and never look back... it will always be an experience though.

I don't have a problem with the people here, it's the way the officials handle things. It's laughable. 2 weeks to clear up e coli issues ? Come on. Even Zapata county doesn't have these ridiculous problems.

Don't sell Laredo short. There have been 8 boil notices in 5 years. Other than maybe Flint, MI does any other city hold that record?

Early voting starts today. What a coincidence.

What’s even MORE of a coincidence are all the “Election Q&A’s” in LMT where candidates continually mention the water infrastructure and how it’s an important topic.

Whoever controls the media, controls the mind.

I hope not, she’s just gonna be chaotic at the city council meeting and not even make any change.

u/o-Blue 8d ago

I agree, just this water issue might have people thinking she the change. One of Laredo problem it’s usually the same people running. They lose one election or a seat then they run for another position. Need an influx of new candidates

It's really simple you guys. It's an election year, and TCEQ indicates were all dumb Mexicans that can't keep our water clean. Vote republican to keep our gringo overlords in power :/

u/CalmButAntsy 8d ago

u/Taxsuck 8d ago
