As citizens, living in what the world sees as a free country, should our state or federal government mandate the books we read, websites to visit, social media outlets to enjoy, who to love, and enforce reproductive laws?

The mayor added that the new facility bears witness to the city’s standing as one of the 50 safest cities in Texas as well as the fire department’s recent attainment of the highest insurance fire rating, which impacts home insurance policies greatly. The new facility is set to come online in the spring of 2025. The new public safety facility was only one of four propositions approved in May 2021 by city voters. The first, a new City Hall and Library, will open in November. Two other propositions, a city recreation center and city […]
