As for the ride-sharing controversy, Uber and Lyft had been operating in Austin for a while when citizens became worried that there was a public safety issue because the ride hailing companies were not fingerprinting or doing background checks on their drivers. They put it to a refer- endum — should fi ngerprint- ing and background checks be required? Citizens said they wanted such safety measures. Consequently, Uber and Lyft pulled out of Austin. “The legislature went crazy, calling it anti-capitalism, anti- business and not right,” said Smith. “This is the conversation we’re having these days and will continue to have for some time to come. Who gets to de- cide on fracking bans, on ride hailing regulations, on tree removal, on bag bans — all these issues of the city maintaining control versus the state?” He commented again on the transparency of Lieutenant Gov- ernor Dan Patrick, who blamed it all on the Democrat mayors and city council members. The four big-city mayors, Smith reminded, are known Democrats. “All the blue areas of the state are the big cities, so this is as much about that as it is about the substance of it,” said Smith. “Sen. Don Huffines, who is quite a conservative from the Dallas area, says to me every time I bring up local control that this is not about local control; it’s about local liberty. That’s how this is now being branded — local control versus local liberty.” He came back to the topic of inaction as it pertains to the future of Texas. He pointed to three specifi c issues that he said are not being talked about in a way, at least in his mind, in a suffi cient manner. Those are the precipitous population growth, rapid urbanization and demographic inevitabilities. In 1991 when Smith moved to Texas, there were 15 million people living in the state. To- day there are 28 million people living in Texas, the demographers say that by 2050 the state’s population will double.

They found that about a fourth of the certifi cates for animals coming into the state have electronic certifi cates and three-quarters are paper. About a third of the animals going out of the state are moving with electronic CVIs and two thirds with paper certifi cates. “We want to keep moving that number up to get more and more animals moving on electronic CVIs,” Schwartz told listeners. He also noted that since June 2015 all offi cial IDs on the health certifi cates that are coming to TAHC are now being captured and stored in a database. Again, it’s a matter of improving the ability to trace animals. Because all 50 states have their own variation of entry requirements, three years ago there was a movement to have USDA develop a website where states could list their entry requirements, thereby making the requirements more accessible to the industry. That website, www.interstateli- vestock.com, is now up and running. The states are obli- gated to keep the information updated any time a rule change is made. Pasture, Rangeland When USDA implemented the new federal rules in 2013, a system to measure a state’s and Forage. ability to trace animals was also implemented. The exercise measures a state on different criteria. The way the exercise works is that USDA picks four random official In the event of drought, the Pasture, Rangeland and Forage (PRF) IDs.

American Water Surveyors uses seismoelectric survey instruments that are designed specifi cally to detect electrical signals generated by the passage of seismic impulses through layered rocks, sediments and soils. The design of our surveying equipment is portable and effective. In the past the only option to fi nd groundwater has been by drilling, often with a water witch, picking the spot to drill — and that can be costly if your result is a dry well. Now there’s a better way, using science and physics. If you’re a farmer, rancher, home owner or developer contact American Water Surveyors today to fi nd out more about our very affordable service. Since 2007 American Water Surveyors has conducted over 640 surveys in 22 states: Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Oklahoma, Iowa, Utah, Montana, Kansas, Nebraska, Kentucky, Colorado, Arkansas, Georgia, Alabama, Tennes- see, South Carolina, North Carolina, Ohio, Illinois, West Virginia, Maryland and Wyoming. We can go anywhere. Members of the National Groundwater Association and Better Business Bureau with an “A+” rating.
