The NCTCOG (yes, the COG that held the TDML meeting last week and the Recreational Use Attainability Study meeting this week) is sponsoring a video contest with TREES and WFAA to solicit YOUR ideas to clean up the Trinity River.
Does that mean those responsible for doing so have no idea of their own?
While we support public participation in matters that concern the public, we ain't buying it.
The commercial for the WFAA Project Green is ironic and amusing. It opens with pictures of trash in the Trinity River in Fort Worth, as they say "You may have heard about the problem." Problem? WHAT problem? The local paper, city staff and elected officials, the Tarrant Regional Water District and the Trinity River Vision Authority say there's no problem. If they say anything at all, it's jump on in, suckers.
(Isn't the local paper and WFAA owned by the same folks?)
The commercial for the WFAA Trinity River video contest goes on to say, "Now it's time for this generation to stop pointing fingers..." Really, that is what they said. "...to save the Trinity. We can do it". Where have we heard "save the Trinity" before? Oh yes, the Trinity River Improvement Partnership. www.savethetrinityriver.org. Those that recently made the video, Up a Creek. THE PEOPLE who are trying to save the river and YOUR money. For YOU and YOUR kids.
If you have an idea, sounds like they need it. YOU could win $1,500. $1,500 is nothing, printing had to cost more than that.
Somebody help 'em out already, would ya?
Due to the WFAA site asking us to disable security to view contest information, we didn't link to it in the above references.
