It was asked after the meeting, "What happened to the water the Allen Group promised 2 years ago?"
Answer, "Well, that's just it. It was 2 years ago and the Mayor and City Council just dragged their feet and failed to do anything. Now, inflation has run the price up. And the Group can't afford it now."
Pardon me, was there a construction plan on the table two years ago? And, even if there was-- Was there a contractor hired or did the Allen Group still need to hire one?
And, if they still needed to hire one, do you folks know how long it takes from idea, to approach, to acquire the land, to plan, to construction blueprints, to bid, to sign a contract, to get all the clearances from all the people who have regs in the way?
Ok, Allen Group there are not as many i's to dot or t's to cross here in Texas as in California. But, too late?
I know heavy constuction and land modification. I was carrying a rod, checking stakes, and checking closures when I should have been having fun with kids my own age.
My Dad's company did a lot of heavy industrial sites after the WWII--in Houston and from here to California (of course before the environmental controls went into effect there) to Nebraska and across Missouri and Arkansas.
No, it is not too late to keep your word and your honor. Dad's company never went back on their word---handshake or signed contract. But, then again that was another time when honor and character, handshakes, and contracts meant something.
Thanks God I had role models like J.L.Allhands, J.J. Briley, and John Stemmons. Your honor and reputation are the only things of value that you own and can protect.
