Flower Mound it is time to wake up. Last year Williams sold their assets to Premier Resources and guess who has been making the social scene attending fundraisers in Flower Mound?
Yep, Premier.
Should you be worried? Two words that should always be in the back of your mind.....

HB 1496 Must Be Stopped!
This bill was filed by Representative Van Taylor out the Plano area of Collin County. On the Texas Railroad Commission Site, there is no drilling activity at all in his area! So why would he file a bill like this? A good question to ask him.
HB 1496 is a bill that will weaken the power of municipalities and even counties to regulate and zone any and all oil and gas operations in their jurisdiction. Don't be fooled by the language stating "property rights". We all have property rights (and some have had theirs already taken away for oil and gas) but all property owners and industries wanting to do business within the limits of a town or city must abide by some type of zoning ordinances. Without these zoning ordinances there would be rock quarries, cement plants, pig farms, dumps, adult book stores etc. on every corner. So why should oil and gas get to override these ordinances? And if oil and gas is allowed to be exempt from ordinances, do you think the other industries above won't lobby for the same right?
Folks, this bill will open Pandora's box.
Please write your legislators

We knew it was coming. This is a bad bad bill! Once again they want to take away municipalities authority to zone gas and oil. They just got a little more creative with their wording this time around.

One Step Forward, Three Steps Back...
Is anyone else experiencing Deja Vu? Last night our new council had the audacity to appoint Jean Levenick to Place 5, the seat Tom Hayden left to run for Mayor. We heard it was a unanimous. So basically we have the same majority we had during 2008-2010, (Bryan Webb will now play the role of Mike Wallace).
For us here at FMCAUD, this brings back memories of the "old" days when council members said one thing and did another AND Disrespected their office and the people of Flower Mound. (Don't forget to read the comments.) Apparently, it seems others are shocked and angered by this decision since we have received many phone calls and emails on this topic today.
There really isn't anymore to say that can express our disappointment in this selection when there were so many qualified prospects to choose from. Click here for a link to all information on Jean Levenick that has been posted on this blog.
Why would anyone want to take one step forward and three steps back?
