“A Sunrise each morning at Cedar Creek Lake in East Texas, reminds me of all the blessings the Lord has rendered me.” copyright 2014 John J. Rigo
The future of Cedar Creek Lake and the course of leadership in its surrounding communities will be greatly important to all of us that call this lake our home. With droughts occurring more often in the area, we as a community need to question the course of our current leadership in its goal of being a resort community.
The damages to our economy by sharing of our lake with the Tarrant County Water District need to be put into question after 45 years that the water that touches our shores is sold and shipped to Tarrant county and other buyers of the water in Texas. It is a proven fact that so-called controlled watering of local properties by the Tarrant County Water District surrounding the lake effect lake levels less than a percentage of one percent.
The rate of the selling of said water by Tarrant county far outstrips any rains the area receives. The end result is waterfront properties that become worthless and business that depend on tourism, are failing at a rapid rate in the area. Issues of eminent domain on the parts of all the countries that touch this lake locally, need to be addressed in a legal perspective in thinking “outside the box” in the control of Cedar Creek Lake, as well as the sharing of its financial resources. A “Fair balance” needs to be established between property owners around the lake, as well as the Tarrant County Water District.
A group of concerned property owners as well as business owners surrounding the three hundred miles of shoreline on Cedar Creek Lake in East Texas needs to be formed to shape the future of our community. It will take creative planning and intelligent goal setting to release the area from the bondage of the Tarrant County Water District with keen insights to all aspects of the rights of property and business owners who own property on the waterfront of this lake.
If you fall into this category of concern for your home and business and wish to be part of this citizen group contact John J. Rigo at texascommentator@hotmail.com. The future of Cedar Creek Lake in East Texas starts today. A passing note: I have no desire to head-up such a group. I would consider being in an advisor capacity only. Some folks do well in politics and as a community activist.
That is not the case for me since I am in your-face-kind-of-man who does not tolerate “self-servers” very well. Included in that category are city managers with private bathrooms in their city office and pay checks exceeding over $140,000 a year and whose word is “worthless” in keeping their promises to property owners on Cedar Creek lake when it comes to code violations.

There is a battle for the mind and control of Texas. There is no compromises in this war that President Obama and his Henchmen have planned for Texas. In any election in the State of Texas, voting for a registered Democratic in a local, regional, and state-wise election enables the thieves and crooks power in their desire to take over our state.
Texas represents the “Last Frontier” for the United States. Within its borders, lies unlimited opportunity for growing businesses to Texas. Texas is looked upon as the state, the cartel, the underworld, the corrupt politicians of Washington wish to conquer as the Virginal Bride of our country….Texas….unspoiled and beautiful.
Do not be mislead by the snake words of liberals, they are nothing more than Democrat’s in the clothing of sheep skins upon the disguises of hungry wolves. Avoid like the plague those who claim to “vote for the best candidate” and claim no party affiliation. They are decoys of the Democratic party.
In this coming May 2014 in local elections in our communities and this coming November, in State and National elections, let us clean house of all the Democrats at all local levels in government, as well as the national scene. It is the only hope left, that we a “Free Americans” have in saving our country from the likes of Obama and his planned destruction of our country over the next three years.

Kemp, Texas: With courage to fire its City Manager and not replace. Picture courtesy of Google Image Search.
This Commentary is a personal salute to the city council of Kemp, Texas, a neighboring city on the Cedar Creek Lake area of East Texas. In this day and age to be paying a City Manager in the area of $100,000 plus in salary and benefits, especially in cities under 6,000 is pure crazy and without a regard for the welfare of its citizens.
This Mayor and city council members demonstrated that they were “True Citizen Servers” in their decision to assuming this ex-City Manager’s duties and save their citizens a huge amount of money. Money that could be better served in the future upgrading of their own water system.
In looking about the Cedar Creek Lake area and its smaller cities, a second look also needs to taken of Gun Barrel City and its City Manager and his $140,000 plus a year in salary and benefits. In looking about the city and its poor enforcement of city codes, a known reputation for aggressive speed traps throughout the city, highly expensive city office buildings with a private restroom in the office of the City Manager no less; one has to question whether the city of Gun Barrel will also demonstrate the same courage in saving its residents and tax-payers a huge amount of wasted money.
