I was told a number of years ago that Bethie's track was to make it to Congress. This was told to me by someone who knew her well. She was a commissioner on Irving City Council and had been involved in politics since before Bethie was born.
There was a gentleman at every council meeting texting her what to say and do. Bethie got away with most of it.
We stopped them from drilling/fracking on the edge of the Trinity River. I know Bethie well!!
