Marvin Nichols Reservoir Forum set for June 15

The East Texas Republican Women will present a public forum June 15 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Atlanta High School auditorium to promote awareness of the Marvin Nichols Reservoir issue that will provide water to the Dallas Metroplex by diverting East Texas water resources. The issue has been added to the current session of the Texas Legislature.

The forum will be moderated by Kate Stow of the Cass County Citizens Journal-Sun. Speakers will be Conservationist Janice Benzanson, Northeast Texas Water Board members Jim Thompson, and Bill Ward. A question and answer session will follow the forum.
