Commissioners elected in their precincts only; other officials elected county-wide By LeaAnne Klentzman Here we are sitting on the edge of the fiscal cliff and possibly the end of the world (if you buy into the Mayan thingie) and what are our conservative, oh so fiscally responsible, Fort Bend Commissioner’s doing?

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 [...]

(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) [...]
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.
