POLICE: Too easy on violent neighbor
I want to draw notice to a recent incident, which occurred at my house one evening last week. My 5-year-old son was grabbed by the neck and then arms by our neighbor lady (grown woman) while playing outside. Her ac…
PERRY: Heat is on this candidate
In 2010, the Texas Association of Firefighters backed Rick Perry for governor. Today they're paying for it - literally. The Texas Forest Service says, "No one on the face of this Earth has fought fires under these …

SHOOTING: Insanity by shooter, U.S.

PLOWING: Foot the bill, Mr. H
I was just sitting here thinking about the article in this morning's paper (Sept. 13) "Night snow plowing on ice." Last year it cost the ITD $229,000 for group costs. Only $166,000 was allocated for this year. Most…

Congressman Labrador: In response to your newsletter on "The American Jobs Solution," you fail to inform that it is your job to make the laws, pass the laws and solve the people's problems. (We learned this in gove…
TREES: Root of dike stability
