On Village leadership

I am currently a non-resident, but both a commercial and residential property owner for the past 15 years in the Village of Salado. My wife and I have raised our three children…set them free….and are now focused on ourselves and our future.
Truth is rare in politics
To the Editor:
TRUTH is a rare occurrence in politics; however, the citizens of the Village of Salado have the opportunity to elect someone who will tell you the truth. At the candidate forum last week, Linda Reynolds spoke the truth about whether the roads would be repaired after the work is done. McLean Construction bid was 2 million lower than the others. Now we know why. Danny McCort looked the bid over and Don Ferguson, City Manager, agreed that the contractor has NO responsibility for repair of roads when work is done. Our current mayor clouded the waters by stating the sewer contractor would fix part of the road and the Village of Salado would fix the other part. The Village will purchase the material and Bell County will furnish the labor to fix the roads. Shouldn’t that have been part of the sewer contract?
We need a balance in representation and leadership in our Board of Alderman. After the candidate forum, it was clear which candidates could provide those qualities.
I urge everyone who is eligible to vote in the Village election to seriously consider voting for the candidates who will be truthful and transparent in their service to the Village.

Long wait for public information
To the Editor:
I’m glad the issue of transparency has been raised by most the non-incumbent candidates for mayor/alderman. Under the current administration so many decisions have been arrived at secretly with undisclosed conflicts of interest.

Salado Art Fair, a Requiem for a Grand Dame
Consider this a requiem for a Grand Dame. Or perhaps it will be a clarion call.
Passing through the 25 booths for 20 artists that comprised this year’s 51st Annual Salado Art Fair was awkward, embarrassing and painful on many levels. It is doubtful that more than 1,000 people passed through the gates of the Fair this year.

The People have the Right to Know
The following editorial originally appeared in the Corpus Christi Caller-Times newspaper.
With the simple act of signing his name, Gov. Greg Abbott completed a trifecta of failure by all branches of state government to defend the people’s right to know.
American Dream is alive and well
By Edwin Feulner
President, Heritage Foundation
Almost any time you see the phrase “the American Dream” these days, it seems to be in a negative context. The speaker is either assuring us that it’s dead, or that it can be salvaged only by a radical redefinition — one that often contradicts the basic principles this country was founded on.
