Republican Primaries

To the Editor: The Republican Primary Election for our Fayette County Judge was encouraging with good candidates respectfully vying for the position. Not so for the House District 85 Republican Primary.

Common People with Common Sense

To the Editor: In 1776, declaring independence, in the parlance of March Madness, was not a slam dunk. What were the odds of success? Boston experienced the brunt of transactional colonialism: closed harbor, taxes on British trade, British troops.

Food For Thought

To the Editor: The La Grange ISD has put alot of emphasis on the fact that people over 65 and have homestead exemptions have their rates frozen except for improvements and will not have their taxes raised. The ISD has also said that home owners under 65 will still get their homestead exemption.

Thank You, Volunteer Mowers

To the Editor: I wish to offer a big “thank you” to the person that mowed the road frontage at the entrance of my driveway. When my sister and I returned from town last week to my residence, there was a lady weed eating all of the tall vegetation adjacent to Country Club Drive by my driveway entrance.

To the Editor: La Grange ISD voters are right to be wary of the eyepopping $159 million cost in principal and interest of the single proposal in the LGISD bond, catering as it does to expensive wants over fundamental needs. Additionally, voters should be aware that they are being brazenly manipulated toward a yes vote.
