A behind-the-scenes look at a critical land sale, communityconflict, and the board’s push to protect WOWSC’s future.

In this episode, we revisit the effort to sell WOWSC-owned land — a decision shaped by mounting financial strain, a restrictive PUC ruling, and persistent resistance from a vocalminority.

From early committee efforts to legal attempts to block the sale, prior Board members share what it took for the board to act in the corporation’s best interest and resolve critical debt.

In this episode of Open Reflection, we examine theappointment — and exit — of a Temporary Manager placed by the Texas PUC to oversee WOWSC. From internal board challenges to community division and regulatory overreach, we trace how it all unfolded, what it meant to serve under that system, and what comes next now that the original critics are incharge.

Candid, reflective, and rooted in hope for better days ahead.
