It’s a SPECIAL Guest Editorial
Arlington Councilman LeBlanc forgot to obtain my permission to use photographs taken by me in his “Special Guest Editorial.” But the most important thing that he forgot, when he issued his so-called patriotic “call to action” for all gassy folks and “mineral owners” to show up at future meetings is that the majority of the people at the TCEQ meeting were mineral owners.
Sorry, Mel, even the mineral owners want Barnett Shale operators to Drill-Right Texas.
UPDATE: I had to rush off this morning but now I’m back. The comments are great, thank you so much. The comments make my job easier.
Dear Counilman LeBlanc, obviously you missed this very important news: New analysis highlights toxin findings. Maybe you are listening to THIS GUY too much. Stop listening to him! He either fails to understand or he intentionally misleads.
I’m not going to post the entire incoherent diatribe but here are a few choice nuggets and be sure to click on the links.
Now, since even the more sensitive, second round of TCEQ testing demonstrated no air pollution, one must assume that Senator Davis’ “call to action” stems from her abhorrence over some sort of process mumbo-jumbo, bureaucratic sleight of hand that’s put a bee under the Senator’s bonnet.
But no, Senator Davis deemed this situation worthy of a full-fledged call to action on its own merits, leveraging the opacity caused by organizational disarray and/or clerical errors to justify a we’re-not-gonna-take-it-anymore posturing to hijack urban drilling.
Oh heck, this “Special” editorial is so nutty and full of well…
It’s not worth the bandwidth to address it here.

LeBlanc diatribe was embarrassing. He bashed Senator Davis in the most unprofessional manner. I didn't know anything about the guy but I came away vastly unimpressed!
Where can I find Mel's love letter?
I suspect Arlington's Councilman LeBlanc will not win re-election after his statements in the "NEWS" letter become know to his district voters:
Accusing Senator Davis of posturing to hijack urban drilling.
Calling the public citizens that speak against drilling as spin-misters, irrational thinking (dumb ideas, making policy based on emotion, hyperbole).
Arlington's City Council meeting rife with citizen rants.
Calling the TCEQ meeting a "human zoo"
Accusing Anthony Spangler, Senator Davis Chief of Staff using 8 minutes ignoring public manners (it was actually 4 minutes).
And to sum it all up LeBlanc compares everybody that disagrees with his view to "Hitler's propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels"
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR FUTURE IN POLITICS COUNCILMAN LEBLANC
Does anybody know what the recall procedures are for city council here in Arlington?
I would note that although I did not stay for the entire meeting (but even my 10 year old lasted longer than TCEQ's Hildebrand) I dont recall soon to be unemployed LeBlanc even speaking. And, by the way, I also used more than 3 minutes.
He claims that the DISH health survey showed nothing except for the smokers! HUH? What is he smoking? Pass that pipe around and let me borrow your rose colored glasses.
Can someone direct me to the YouTube link for this meeting. I have the TCEQ audio recording of the meeting but I would also like to reference the video of the meeting, for the purpose of accuracy.
