In her blog, Shelly discusses the dispute over the Red River Compact between Oklahoma and Texas. She articulates how the dispute is over water resources that are in Oklahoma. Apparently, Texas wants to sue Oklahoma to get what they deem "excess" water from them.
Shelly does a good job of presenting different ideas. She describes how the compact is worded too vaguely and has too many loopholes to clearly see which resources belong to Texas, and which belong to Oklahoma. She also says that Texas is wanting to take water from the Oklahoma side. She also says that Oklahoma is being resistant, believing that water within her borders belongs to her.
There are several things lacking in her post, though. I don't see clearly what her opinion or stance is on the matter. She does express that she is frustrated with the vagueness of the compact, but doesn't describe where she stands on the matter. She also fails to give much hard evidence or clarify what exactly is going on in the compact. She just articulates the vagueness of it.
Overall, I think this is an informative post that presents some different perspectives on the Red River Compact.
