My family and I were in a terrible car accident in Bastrop County on Nov. 27. Our daughter, Addie, was taken by helicopter to Brackenridge in Austin while Rick and I were brought in by ambulance.
Main Street and side streets jammed with interstate overflow
To the Editor:
For the third time in the last few days Main Street and side streets are jammed with freeway traffic, further crippling our Village and businesses, not to mention emergency traffic flow. The state tells us that 1500 people are moving to Texas every day from the overcrowded north, yet we continue to just piddle along with expanding our infrastructure just like we did in the past.

Roadwork around Thanksgiving absurd decision
To the Editor:
I have no idea if you have any influence in the construction process and associated traffic, but I’m sending this to you either way. The decision to have that much road work around the thanksgiving holiday is absolutely absurd. My family and I sat in traffic forever on our way home. Someone needs to have a word with the decision makers and they need to be considerate and a hell of a lot smarter.

To the Editor:
The lower front page of your November 26, 2015 edition read as follows “BOA approves Sanctuary deal” or should it have read, “The Rabbits finally swallowed the Dangling Carrot,” except one.
