This is CBSI on the world.

I'm John Batser, welcoming Bob Zimmerman, behind the black, 15 years of behind the black,

reliable and very, very well-detailed information about commercial space and big space. Commercial space especially has been

Bob's very careful subject for 15 years. Your subscriptions and donations are well received

and purchase the only place I know that is going to step aside from the boosterism and the

hazaz of big space and commercial space and be thoughtful about what's going on.

Our first three items deal with Starlink, and I have a lot to say about Starlink today.

Bob knows. Bob, a very good evening to you. Fifteen years of covering these

stories. You're very good about saying what's going wrong and what needs to be corrected.

Right now, we start with Water and Boca Chica. It's completely news to me. What's going on? Good

evening, too, Bob. Yeah, this is, again, it seems to me to be a political retaliation by the local county against Bocachita and the newly formed town of Starbase.

Recently, the Texas state government passed a law that gave Starbase, the town, the right to close the beaches on its own, taking that power away from the local county, Cameron County.

Well, suddenly, earlier this month in July, Cameron County abruptly stopped without notice.

It's decades-long delivery of water to residents in Boca Chica and in surrounding areas,

not just within Starbase.

They just simply stop delivering.

This is a $15 monthly service to provide water.

As one of my comments is behind the block noted, this is really slimy because it's stopping

water delivery in the heat of texas summer

it's really cruel it's beyond cruel

then no explanation they just simply stopped it one of the commissioners

involved the name is uh... sophia benvenitis she's a democrat
