Medicaid funding issue is that the Austin crowd denies billions in fed dollars while supporting trillions in tax cuts

by

To the Editor:

In perusing John Henderson’s obviously obligatory plea for increased Medicaid payments  to compensate for “underpayments” to rural hospitals (Salado Village Voice 1/24/2019), I recalled the tongue-in-cheek business plan of an area doctor:  “Buy something for a dollar and sell it for ten dollars.  If you can’t make it on a ten percent markup, you don’t deserve to make it.”

What’s next, a tie-dye ordinance?

To the Editor:

Barrow Brewing Company, as a general policy, normally tries not to not to meddle in the affairs of the local village government. Recent events however, have demonstrated that some folks at city hall apparently have no intention of reciprocating that policy.  The fact that a “Special Event Ordinance” was on the agenda for discussion mere days after our recent event is a fact that would be difficult to ignore. Despite the Village Administrator’s protestations to the contrary, it was obvious to us that it was indeed a response to Barrow’s recent festival.

Mill Creek offers award for information on vandalism

by

To the Editor:

This letter is in response to the vandalism and theft that occurred at Mill Creek Country Club during Memorial Day Weekend. Kids having fun and playing jokees in one thing. Vandalism like breaking $1,000 worth of lights, stealing the American Flag and the State of Texas flag from their staffs is theft all from the Salado Voluntters Flag grarden. Tunring over Port-a-Potties is expensive and no one likes to clean up a mess. The MCCC, LLC ownership is placing a $1,500 reward for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of the perpetrators.
