THANK YOU MR. JEFFERSON !!!!
Harlan Jefferson is the MAN!
There are inherent risks in all lines of business. This was a risk Williams took when making a decision to drill in an urban environment. Flower Mound is full of business principals who make sound business decisions, it's not the communities fault Williams does not.
Nice catch, Harlan!
