Senior Center gives thanks for ramp replacement

The Senior Center thanks Mario Gavan (M&G Construction) for replacing the ramp at the senior center. He donated his time and labor to tear out the old one, stabilize it better and replace the boards. The Board of Directors and all of our seniors really appreciate his generosity. Woodson’s was generous enough to donate the lumber to replace the ramp. Without their help, the center would not have been able to have such a nice ramp for our senior citizens. The Board of Directors, seniors citizens director Glenda ONeal appreciate Woodson’s generous action in helping our seniors out. Contributed photo.

Absent lawmakers stymie special session

Nearly 60 Texas House Democrats left the state last Monday for Washington, D.C. in an effort to stop passage of a Republican-led elections bill. This in effect blocks all legislation since the House doesn’t have a quorum present. As the Austin American Statesman and other media outlets reported, Gov. Greg Abbott has threatened to arrest the absent lawmakers upon their return. While in Washington, the legislators have met with Vice President Kamala Harris and several Democratic senators to push passage of a federal elections bill that is currently stalemated.

Cool Down and Eat Healthy

Someone once said that it didn’t get officially hot in Texas until the temperature broke 100 degrees. 99 degrees was still in the “warm” zone. I would disagree with that, but the fact that we’ve made it halfway through July without a real statewide scorcher is encouraging.
