Maureen Riggs will be the next Justice of the Peace in Precinct 2.
Riggs bested Bucky Boswell in the Republican primary runoff on May 22, 316 votes to 171 votes.
Riggs led in both absentee (67 to 37) and early voting (118 to 73), and also won on election day (133 to 61).

Michael Burcham walked into a Dallas-area Army recruiting office years ago inspired by the movie Patton.
That’s as good a reason as any, the recruiter told him. It must have been, because Burcham spent 21 years of active duty in the Army. He recently retired as a lieutenant colonel.

And where did that agenda come from, at such a young age?

Llano High School was home to something special on Saturday as Wildflower Dance Studio brought three hours of Jazz and Dance entertainment, and the Little Mermaid.
Not a typical event for Llano, well, after four years in town, it is getting to be more of a routine for a town already known for its visual and musical arts.
Joe Buck Simpson (L) and Russell Rabb are the 2018 “Jackets for Life,” one of Llano ISD’s most prestigious awards. Both graduated from Llano High and have made significant professional contributions to the school and community.
The Llano County Commissioners held a lengthy discussion with citizen Fred Ganske about frustration with FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) and its insistence on using arcane parameters in the latest flood plain for Llano County.
