At the Harlingen commission meeting, resident Robert Lefwich said released emails suggest city staff discussed using potable water and blending it with reclaimed supplies for the RGD energy/data-center contract; he called public statements denying potable use 'borderline fraud' and urged clearer disclosure and investigation.

A District 2 resident told the commission she and neighbors have evidence that the city attorney and departments produced incomplete records and asked the commission to direct independent counsel to pursue setting aside a 50‑year water agreement; the speaker said the district attorney is awaiting input from Texas Rangers.
