Mr Tom Campbell & Resident Funded Trips

Mr Tom Campbell has been on many resident funded trips and CATW wonders what he is doing? What are any Directors doing on these trips that they couldn't do here in The Woodlands. Did our water rates increase from what our directors learned on the trips/retreats? Have the residents of The Woodlands gotten their $3831.03 out of Tom Campbell as a MUD Director? We hope that Mr Campbell is working hard for the residents of The Woodlands.

Where is the Plaza?

CATW sent this letter to The Woodlands Development Company for assistance with an eye sore in Indian Springs. We would ask for the Indian Springs elected Director, Mr Lloyd Matthews, for assistance, but all he could say was "I'm very Sad..." when asked about the project.










Cochran's Crossing Quickly Becoming an Old Village

Sculpture on Lake Woodlands at Shadowbend Park

It wasn't long ago that Cochran's Crossing was way out there and it wasn't uncommon for people to not want to move here since it took so long to get to I45. Wow, times sure have changed. It's our responsibility to make sure our Directors ensure our association dollars are being spent in your village or at least in your association, be it the Woodlands Community Association (WCA) or The Woodlands Association (TWA). The WCA is quickly being pushed to the back burner since the TWA's developer controlled board is running the show. CATW learned that The Woodlands Developer is responsible for all the sculptures in The Woodlands, including maintenance. This sculpture is in desperate need of attention. The Developer has been made aware of the situation and we hope they will do the right thing and revitalize the sculpture.

There was a sculpture "stolen" from Cochran's Crossing recently. Recognize the Mirage II? It used to be on Research Forest in front of the Cochran's Crossing shopping center.

$731.76 for Something that could have been done in The Woodlands?

Mr Jeff long, President of the Woodlands Community Association (WCA), spends at least $731.76 of residents money in Austin.
What is the WCA? The WCA is a Homeowners Association (HOA), nothing more - nothing less. The definition of a HOA is: An organization of homeowners residing within a particular development whose major purpose is to maintain and provide community facilities and services for the common enjoyment of the residents.
So why is Jeff Long spending our money meeting with Tommy Williams in Austin? Both Tommy Williams and Jeff Long live in The Woodlands so why meet in Austin regarding a HOA?

$18,300.00 to WJPA Directors in 1Q 2007 while residents water bills rise.



If people listened to the Woodlands Joint Powers Agency (WJPA) then we would all be running away from The Woodlands looking for water.
With Salary's like THIS, it's no wonder they need more of our hard earned money.


While we are all being tiered, let's not forget that there is NOT a water shortage, but possibly poor planning.

Our water does not disappear

Are Residents of The Woodlands Paying Double for Services?

Community Activists of The Woodlands (CATW) recently uncovered another instance where residents are paying double for services. On June 24th we first uncovered THIS issue. Recently we found that The Woodlands Community Service Corporation (WCSC) is also removing graffiti for the San Jacinto River Authority (SJRA). It's important to note that the WCSC removed the graffiti without first asking the SJRA. CATW believes that there should be some type of a financial agreement between any entity that needs graffiti removed and the WCSC.
What do you think?
