Drainage is a Top Priority

To the Editor:

Fellow citizens of La Grange: Monday at the city council meeting, Charlie Murray told the city about the dangerous drainage problems around his house on East Walnut. He thinks it could be life threatening because one of his neighbors got very sick after his house had flooded. He soon perished. Billye Beth Baker also spoke regarding drainage.

The La Grange self appointed drainage czar thanked JT for putting out the survey but asked what the actual plan is since the large grant has been received. He told everyone that they will work on five drainage areas initially.

I just want to make sure that he is not spending it foolishly on parks, statues, or old buildings. I will continue to keep everyone updated and make sure to fill out those surveys.
