Whenever you hear the words "threaten to take over" from a Republican, you can be sure it translates to "make everything worse for everyone except the wealthy," which in this case are big businesses.

This needs to stop being framed as a problem caused by the individuals that the individual can fix by using less. In both of the articles I have read on this they talk about families using less, not watering lawns or washing their cars but the reality is, that even if every on in CC stopped using water for anything other than drinking, the industrial users would still drain the reservoir. Blame needs to be placed where the problem was caused and it needs to be fixed by those who use/caused it.

Abbott will do something to protect the industry at the cost of the citizens. I guarantee it.
