From crops to the tap, Texas is running out of water. In northeast Texas, one proposed solution is the Marvin Nichols reservoir. But it’s led to a years-long battle with local landowners and critics say it would crush the east Texas timber industry. Even the state Senator leading Texas’ efforts to tackle the water crisis calls it “eminent domain purgatory.” But the Republican unveils a never before heard solution to the standoff in this episode of Y’all-itics. And the Jasons sit down with WFAA reporter Matt Houston to discuss his ongoing coverage as part of WFAA’s new “Boomtown” franchise.
