Dear Editor, Did you know that the City of Llano has an ordinance saying Northland Cable has to offer service to anyone and everyone inside the city limits? So even though Northland’s website might tell you “We are unable to find your address in our database. Your home may not be serviceable,” by city law your home (or business) is serviceable, as Northland must sell you service inside the city limits. All it takes is for the city to enforce the law.

Dear Editor, I’d like to introduce Precious Moments Montessori Preschool and its director/owner, myself, and also I’d like to take this opportunity to say “Don’t judge a book by its cover.“ I’m not the previous director nor was I ever affiliated with the incidents that previously occurred in this facility. I’ve never had any incident in my 20 years experience in child care. There is nothing more difficult then entrusting your child to another.

Dear Editor, In your supplement naming past “Citizen of the year,” you mentioned Lawrence Bruhl for 2002. Mr. Bruhl and his wife, Elaine Price Bruhl, were jointly named for that year. Let us remember them together. Sincerely, Mildred Allen

Dear Editor, Can you ever remember seeing so many trucks inside of our City of Llano? I can’t and they all drive too fast. It’s just a matter of time until someone is killed. I propose a trucker’s speed limit of 20 mph in town - and enforce it. That would be my Phase I.

I didn’t think the day would ever come, but it finally did. And it was a great day. Major League Baseball’s long-time embarrassment of deciding home field advantage in the World Series with the league that wins the All-Star game is finally over. This came to be last week as the owners and players agreed on a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA), which ended former Commissioner Proud-to-be-your-Bud Selig’s dunderheaded move.

Dear Editor, I like Llano just as it is. In the Llano News of 10-26-2016, Paul Paxton had written about his concern over the proposed cement plant. I object to the idea that the plant would be better away from the city and in the county somewhere. The cement dust will still blow onto someone’s property and when it rains, the water will still run downhill to the Llano River, and into the someone’s water source.

Dear Editor, The City of Llano resolution that was passed and approved by the city council on April 6, 2015 is so beautifully written and it perfectly describes the sentiment and values of our City and Llano citizens by stating, “the City of Llano and residents recognize the Texas Hill Country for its rich cultural heritage, breathtaking scenic beauty, and ethics for land stewardship.” It states, “the increased use of night illumination has negatively impacted the enjoyment of the night s ...

Dear Editor, We appreciate all those who stopped by our Election Day bake sale at the library on Nov. 8. Through your generous donations, the Friends of the Llano Library can continue to support programs and activities of your library. Also, we especially appreciate all who prepared the goodies and manned the table all day. Robert Thompson President, Friends of the Llano Library

Dear Editor, Mr. Paxton mistakenly stated that Ingram Readymix wants to build a concrete plant in Llano. Ingram Concrete, LLC – A U.S. Concrete Company recently filed an air permit application with TCEQ for a batch plant in Llano. Ingram Concrete, headquartered in Brownwood, is owned by U.S. Concrete Company which is a publicly traded company with no ties to the Ingram family. Ingram Readymix, Inc.
