Once Again, Texas Leads the Way

The Facts: "FREEPORT — A sign bolted to pilings near a boat ramp off the Brazos River warning passing boaters about eating what they catch is new, but the advisory itself has been in place for a dozen years, officials say.

The delay in putting up the signs is because money never was allocated for them, said Kirk Wiles, manager of the seafood and aquatic life group for the Texas Department of State Health Services, which issued the warning."
