Dear Editor,
I want to thank the city of Llano for fixing the roads. This has been a needed for a long time. The curbs are a very nice addition.
However, the new construction is interfering with mail delivery. Our carriers are unable to get to your mailboxes. For those customers whose streets are being worked on, we will hold your mail at the Llano Post Office until the street is free from construction.

Dear Editor,
What makes America great? It is not economic and military might. These are results of America’s greatness. America has been great since its conception because of these things: freedom, to think as we choose, to believe as we choose, and to express our beliefs, and to vote as we choose.
Dear Editor,
Some of us who have made our homes in Llano have been threatened with our livelihood, regarding the exorbitant monetary spike on each of our monthly utilities bills. There has been no solid explanation to quell the confusion and uneasiness that has pushed through our front doors demanding payment for that which many of us Llano citizens have no means nor understanding, and certainly no clear and significant answers from our city government as to “why this is happening.”

Dear Editor,
We all know when hunting season is around, there will always be feed bags blown out of forgetful hunters truck beds or even our own land owners at times. But 29 at 71 headed toward Mason is a mess with trash. When will the county actually help clean the country side? We do pick up around our subdivision at 401, but it’s embarrassing to see all the trash sitting there, some since before Christmas.
Also the house trailer sitting inside Llano County on 71, has been there f ...
Dear Editor,
With regard to the seemingly interminable disparagement of Robert E. Lee by Mr. Dunson, a quote from Shakespeare comes readily to mind: “Methinks thou doth protest too much.”

Dear Editor,
I have not seen a more voluminous display of rancid spew since the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980. That vile, leftist, revisionist history rhetoric exposes the hatred from the likes of him for all things Southern. For over 150 years, like-minded leagues of hate-mongers have been trying to bury truth with dark and sinister debris from the very bowels of the Hell; the very Hell from which they came.
Dear Editor,
While in line waiting to pay my property tax bill last month I overheard people complaining about how much money they had to pay to the “county.”
Perhaps you, like those complaining thought that money must all be going to the county? The property tax bill is not from the county; although it helps fund city, county and school operations, as well as, special districts like utility and emergency service districts.
The county and city portions of your tax bill are most like ...
Dear Editor,
The Civil War was fought over “states rights.”
And what was Lee fighting for? As each state left the Union their legislature wrote out the reasons in epistles called “Declaration of Secession.” South Carolina went out first and wrote the first “document,” laying it out very clearly in about ten paragraphs clearly stating that those rascally Northerners were trying to eliminate slavery.
