Hi Bev, Do you know Missouri City has added 2 more trash dumps? Both are at City Center. The 1st is between the New City Center Club House and the Eldorado 18th green. For the last 3 months, the city has dumped all of the trash from the bridge project and expansion of the cart [...]
Dear Editor, Letters to the editor in “Star’s” 02-20-13 letters to the editor express unqualified support for Sugar Land’s red light cameras. They ignore the fact that overzealous law enforcement must not be allowed to go unchallenged. Strict enforcement of the law should always be tempered by compassion, a willingness to consider extenuating circumstances and [...]
Beverly, I wanted to congratulate you on some excellent points made in your last Bev’s Burner article. It really was about time that someone took an objective look at what’s been happening over the past few years in Missouri City. Your diagnosis of the city basically spending too much on QVGC,the tennis and clubhouse facility, [...]
Dear Ms. Carter, I am writing to express my very strong disagreement with and disappointment with your recent very unfair and derogatory article regarding Missouri City and our very dedicated elected officials. I believe your comments are very inaccurate. This kind of smear attack serves no useful purpose and in fact is potentially damaging to [...]
Dear Editor, Regarding the article on the “Star’s” front page 2/27: Ms. Morales described Town Square as …”It is our heart and soul…” I’m a native Sugar Land resident. I was born in the Eldridge Hospital, at Wood and Lakeview Streets, 61 years ago, grew up and still live in Sugar Land. The City of [...]
Elsa, Just wanted to thank the “Star” for all the great coverage you gave us for Fort Bend Cares Road Trip to the Orient fundraiser. A special thanks to you for the great Star Spotter column in last week’s paper! Laura Richard Fort Bend Cares Executive Director
Dear Editor, Being a Missouri City resident who spends a significant amount of time driving in Sugar Land, I would hope that H. Van Der Grinten’s concern about red light cameras be focused on safe defensive driving habits rather than the purpose he perceives for those cameras existence. Frankly, I could care less why Sugar [...]
Dear Editor, The whole argument against red light cameras astounds me in its attempt to wiggle past the bald truth. If you enter the intersection when the light is red, you have broken the law. Period. There is a split second between it being yellow and it being red, and after that split second is [...]
Dear Editor, The City of Sugar Land remains tight lipped about its continuing attempt to hide the fact that red light camera (RLC) fines are virtually voluntary. My attempt to elicit an explanation for the continuing use of false threats to coerce the payment of RLC fines has only resulted in official silence. I first [...]
Dear Beverly, I’m glad to hear that you’re feeling better and back to your feisty self. I miss your columns when you’re away. You are one of those rare truth-tellers and are a Texas treasure. Sincerely, Sandy Pardo
