The Lost Rider Podcast with Herman Brune

This is a fast-moving interview with the Nueces River Authority Executive Director, John Byrum. It is an update on the progress of the largest seawater desalination plant in the U.S. being built near Port Aransas on Harbor Island. Brune relates to Byrum that Public Trust is at an all-time low, and asks whose responsibility is it to establish good will? Should state senators and representatives be more active in their respective communities? Instead of saying the public needs to attend hearings, shouldn't they be campaigning in their districts advocating water process technologies? Is the mainstream media too uninformed and shouldn't the outdoor communications industry be more involved? Legislators brag about keeping boys out of girls' restrooms and sports - but that's an absolute no-brainer. How about raising the bar on accomplishments? Why is the TCEQ the only state agency, with a conservation program, that refuses to attend media conferences or give interviews? It's simple to see why Public Trust is suffering.
