Empower Texas Tackles A Water District with 4 Major Eminent Domain Woes

Empower Texas offers up a smorgasbord of eminent domain abuses by Tarrant Regional Water Board. The list:

• Received expanded eminent domain powers through abuse of the local and consent calendar
• The district’s majority financial focus is on economic development and not water, a public use
•  The commissioners, who can vote in favor of eminent domain, had their terms extended without an election
• Landowners in an eminent domain dispute uncovered evidence that the water district had promised there would be no eminent domain for their property
