Greg Abbott Blasted Corpus Christi for Its Water Crisis. A River Authority He Has Power Over Is Falling Apart.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott criticized Corpus Christi for its stalled desalination project and potential water restrictions, while the Nueces River Authority (NRA), which he appoints, faces funding and financial challenges for its own water project. Abbott has threatened state intervention if Corpus Christi fails to resolve its crisis but has not taken over the NRA's operations.
