Brazos River Authority Scandal | Darren Yancy Provides Details

This came from DarrenYancy.com, but the excerpt sheds light on the Brazos River Authority scandal that I keep pounding everyone publicly about...it's like there's this huge dart board here in Senate District 22 that everyone in the media -- TV, newspapers (other than mine), etc. have totally ignored.
From Darren Yancy's site:

Along the way I uncovered a scandal that involved a whole slew of people mainly from the chief county in SD22 – McLennan. The scandal involved the Brazos River Authority and its closure of a hydroelectric dam system at Possum Kingdom Lake in Palo Pinto, Texas. At the root of the scandal was Averitt, our Senator for the district and the Chair of the Texas Natural Resource Committee that oversees all lakes, rivers, and dams in Texas who sat by while the plant closure started killing off economic life in several SD22 counties. Another individual that kept coming into the scandal was current Brazos River Authority President AND SREC for District 22 Chris DeCluitt. DeCluitt also resides in McLennan County.

When I started to uncover the scandal, Averitt “suspended” his campaign and DeCluitt launched the “Re-Elect Kip” campaign to keep Averitt in so the seat remained in McLennan County. DeCluitt wanted the Senate seat through an Averitt in-session retirement and I screwed it up. The McLennan County Machine went into full swing and chewed me alive. Democrat Chet Edwards team called his rolls to get Dems to crossover vote for Averitt (we have open primaries in Texas). The strategy worked and I lost in spite of 25000 plus votes that would have won most primaries. So you begin to understand the full flavor of this county, former President George W Bush’s Crawford ranch is in McLennan County.

  1. I guess he is free to state whatever he wants, but one thing is now abundantly clear the voters have stated HELL NO to Yancy twice now. If I were him I would craw back under my rock.

  2. Comments like that only fuel people like Darren to continue doing what he does.


    Without Yancy and without Precinct 125 Chairman David Hunnicutt, we would have no idea about the BRA scandal.



    And without my blog, we wouldn't know either.
