Thank you so much for taking time from your busy lives to give and to see that we had a merrier Christmas. All of you made it possible for these little girls to keep on believing that there really is a Santa, and they do believe! The smiles on their faces told it all. Thank [...]
Dear Editor, Some of the drivers that create “growth” in our community are the same ones that will destroy our community when it is built-out. Much like feeding a grizzly bear, the economic development council’s appetite for new taxes has fostered unsustainable growth and dependency on more taxes from the next new development of homes [...]
Dear Editor, I share the frustration with the state’s traditional redistricting morass. Isn’t it time we tried Plan B? This is where we give a chimpanzee a box of crayons and have it draw the districts. Now I’m not saying that the chimp’s product would be any more rational than the legislature’s, but at least [...]
Dear Bev, In the last week, Fort Bend County has experienced two horrific tragedies at the hands of abusers that have both shocked our community and brought to light how often abuse occurs in our own backyard. First we heard about the tragic suicide of BF Terry High School student, Ashley Billasano who was repeatedly [...]
Dear Editor, The recent child abuse allegations and scandal at Penn State University have brought the issue of child sexual abuse to the forefront of our nation’s media coverage. Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident. In Fort Bend County, child abuse is a big and growing problem. This past year, Child Advocates of Fort [...]
Dear Editor, I want to congratulate the Star for publishing, “What if an honor killing happened in Sugar Land?” because it exposed the Sugar Land Tea Party’s idea of Justice as, “Just Us!” Their whiney-butt jeremiad refused to concede that they purposely staged a divisively provocative Islamophobic event in a community with a raw wound [...]

We are not freeloaders nor back woods hillbillies that need to be brought into the city to be civilized. We are taxpaying [...]
Dear Editor, I went to an informational meeting at Huggins Elementary School in Fulshear on October 13 to hear Dr Thomas Randle, Superintendent of Schools, speak about the Lamar CISD Schoolhouse Bond election to be voted on November 8 (early voting to begin Monday, October 24). It was rewarding to see that the bond package had been conscientiously developed by a [...]
Dear Editor, It is hard to believe that The Fort Bend Symphony Orchestra is celebrating its 20th season. Especially since many residence still don’t know how Great the FBSO is and what good family entertainment is at our disposal. I have only known about it for 3 years and am a 28 year resident. Did [...]
To all concerned residents of the City of Rosenberg, and to residents of its Extraterritorial Jurisdiction, and to its city officials., the recent announcement of proposed annexation has created much concern not only for residents of the proposed annex areas but for all residents. Therefore the annexation should be delayed until these legitimate concerns are [...]
