Sugar Land resident pursuing red light camera violatons says city deceiving public

Dear Editor, In its efforts to keep the revenue flowing the City of Sugar Land is deceiving the driving public. They don’t want you to know that red light camera fines are virtually voluntary. I have filed an open records request (ORR) as follows: “Regarding red light camera (RLC) tickets please provide answers to the [...]

Let humanity, not anger guide our response says reader

Dear Editor, Nobody can deny the horribleness of the shooting that recently occurred in Connecticut, but we must not use the immediate emotional reaction to the tragedy as an opportunity to attack a policy that was not the primary cause instead of seeing a transcendent need to support the friends and families of the victims. [...]

Community helps find missing child

Dear Editor, I want to thank you for running the ad that helped us find our baby Tom.  We were in the mist of moving to Virginia when Tom disappeared for 7 days. Most of all I want to thank the residents/neighbors of the Highlands for their support and calling us when they saw Tom. [...]

Captain Van Der Grinten responds to Robert McNees

Dear Editor, Robert McNees in last week’s letter to the editor is grossly misinformed. I am not now nor have I ever been a lawyer. I am a professional merchant seaman, ex-Naval officer and anti-red light camera activist. McNees is also way off the mark in his support of RLCs as a safety measure. He [...]

It’s voluntary, stupid!

Dear Editor, The front page article on red light camera violations in the Wednesday, December 5, 2012 edition contains a disturbing and misleading false assertion by the City of Sugar Land spokesperson Mr. Doug Adolph. Mr. Adolph says “The city of Sugar Land works with a collection agency for the collection of past due violations.” [...]

Reader responds to “Captain sails course to ban Sugar Land Red Light cameras”

Dear Editor, Please be advised that Captain Van is nothing more than a lawyer chasing after business. The basis of my claim is that Red Light Camera citations are civil matters and thus are not available to being represented by an attorney and Cap. Van is a lawyer. Additionally, public safety takes it on the [...]

Stafford Municipal School District high school senior urges Stafford residents to attend public hearing

Dear Editor, Did you know that there is NO risk-free level of exposure to secondhand smoke that contains over 7,000 chemicals of which hundreds are toxic? (Surgeon General’s Report 2010)   And did you know that food service workers are 50% more likely to die from lung cancer than the general public? (Surgeon General’s Report 2004) [...]

Reader responds to Guns, Guns, Guns article of 11/28 by Barbara Carlson

Dear Editor, The kind of rhetoric Barbara Carlson is saying is fear mongering, pure and simple. And when people start to do this, it opens the way for tyrants to take over, and civil discourse to escalate to civil conflict, and worse. History is full of examples.  Read it sometime, it’s quite fascinating. Every time [...]

Barbara Carlson’s “column” and commentary of November 21 stirs up resident

Dear Editor, It is a wonderful country we live in when people from all political backgrounds, including the American Nazi Party, the Man – Boy Love Association and Barbara Carlson have the ability to speak freely without fear of government reprisal. What I find interesting is that Carlson begins her column talking about the President [...]

Reader would like a response

Mr. Jajoo, Assistant City Manager Jennifer May informed me on October 26 she was forwarding my October 24 letter to you and the “City Staff” and they were working to gather more information for me. I have not heard from any one from your office or the city hall in regards to what I feel [...]
