Village will likely re-address election decision
Action to move election will have to be taken by Board of Aldermen.
In light of an advisory email from the Elections Division of the Texas Secretary of State, Salado aldermen will likely revisit their split-decision vote on March 23 to continue to hold the Village general election on May 2. While the Village has not formally posted anything about a meeting to move the election date, aldermen were informed via text from the Village Administrator at 1:23 p.m. March 25 that an Emergency Meeting of the Board of Aldermen will be held at 9 a.m. March 26 “to consider moving May election to Nov, in light of correspondence from the Secretary of State.”
Despite the Village voting on March 23 to keep the May 2 election date, Mayor Skip Blancett took to social media March 24 to tell voters “an order has been given for 3 November.”

“We flew them, they retired them”
By David Williams and Bill Mulkins
I used to wonder what happens to pilots when they grow old. Pilots are an interesting group of individuals. Pilots tend to be independent, confident, self-initiators, risk takers, and best of all story tellers. It is usually not hard to tell when a group of pilots are in conversation. A sure give away is seeing a lot of hand movement, a loud lackadaisical tone to their voice, and all other’s eyes fixed on the speaker with an occasional smile or nod of agreement. Such is the atmosphere on any given Saturday around brunch time at McCain’s Café in Salado, Texas.
