Dear Editor,
If many of you will remember, about 6 months to a year ago, the TCEQ came into the area and supposedly, declared many dry ditches as a navigable streams and ordered dams removed from creeks. This is still a threat from the EPA and Army Corp of Engineers but recently, the house cut funding for much of the so called regulations, but don't think that the issue is dead, as there are greenies who work 24/7 to think up ways to take what you have, or at least, TAKE away your use of the la ...

Dear Editor,
It's hard to believe that Llano Central Appraisal District began to appraise Llano Gospel Church property / sanctuary in 2002.
In 2014 they increased the appraised value of the church by more than 300% above the 2010 value, and more than 500% above the 2008 value. Today Llano Gospel Church, which had never been appraised / taxed from 1958 – 2001, owes more than $4,500 in property taxes.
