Each Candidate will have several minutes to share their outlook, ideas, plans and platform with the public at the beginning of the forum, after which, Hussey will open the floor for a question and answer session.
Dear Editor,
The proposal pushed by Mayor Virdell and Aldermen Bryan Miiller and Todd Keller to construct the Leverett Water Well on Riley Mountain is a highly risky scheme. No firm cost estimate has been determined for the entire project.
The Mayor and two aldermen chose not to run for re-election and now, at the very end of their terms, are trying to jam this scheme through City Council.
Any decision regarding major cost for the taxpayers should be discussed and studied by the new Mayor and C ...
Dear Editor,
Having never written a Letter to the editor I find this a very important task as one citizen attempts in a few lines to share a personal point of view or idea. So here goes.
I would like to bring the important issue of Rain Water Collection back to our thinking.
One hundred, eighty-six official registrants rode in the Castell Gravel Grind. The Saturday morning race began in nice, cool 60 degree temps over the 62-mile course along the Llano-Mason county line.
Not all who started finished. The three races were all grueling. I travel these roads in a pickup truck and find it hard to drive much over 30 or 40 mph without shaking the old truck apart.

Continuing to examine the unique aspects of Llano County from PAST years and in PRESENT times brings the project alphabetically to the letters "P" through "R."
"P" is for PECANS. Our neighboring county, San Saba, which was created by the State the same day as Llano County on February 1, 1856, is known as the "Pecan Capital of Texas."
April 15 is the time of the year when Americans can communicate with their government. I cannot testify for anyone else, but I look forward to this marvelous opportunity and I am careful not to waste it. This year, for example, so much has happened to me since last year it took 15 single-spaced typed pages to include everything.
However, to be perfectly honest (and who's perfect), I am a little disappointed.
Here's how to be perfectly miserable: focus on everything negative in your marriage, your church, your job or business and conclude there's no way of anything changing.
This kind of negative thinking feeds despair; so reject it.
Things and people can be changed by prayer.
