Reader corrects errors
Dear Editor,
I noticed some erroneous information in the BINGO story in the Jan. 21 edition of The Cedar Creek Pilot. The story reports on the Jan. 12 meeting of the Gun Barrel City Council.
Pilot/ADR writer Art Lawler refers to “East Cedar Creek MUD,” whose name is really East Cedar Creek Fresh Water Supply District, as a private company. If it were a private company, it would not hold elections every other year from the general public for the seats on its board of directors.
These directors are elected the same way members of the city council are, and most have expertise in the area of water systems, engineering or law and finance.
The story also attributes this error to GBC city manager Gerry Boren, who knows better than to call East Cedar Creek a private company. Since I was out of town and unable to attend this meeting, I don’t know exactly what he said and must rely on the accuracy of your reporter. If Boren did call it a private company, it is to support his argument that the city should control the meters East Cedar Creek is purchasing from the City of Mabank.
Gun Barrel City is moving to block the sale, even though the city doesn’t have a drinking water supply nor a wastewater processing facility and hasn’t even offered a competitive bid to Mabank for the purchase of it’s meters.

Stick to the issues
It saddens me to see Betty Brown attempting to spread lies about her opponent being a district outsider. Lance Gooden was born and raised in Terrell and Betty knows this. Betty herself even briefly left the district to attend college before she dropped out and returned back to Terrell. Unfortunately, Betty continues to push this lie outside of Terrell, knowing that the folks in Lance’s hometown know better.
She should not try to distract voters from the real issue, her lack of effectiveness.
