With the early voting period for the party primary elections opening Tuesday, County Clerk Clare Christy is urging potential voters to download a sample ballot to review before heading out to vote.
Roads, the county jail, finances and crime were among the various topics addressed during a Candidates Forum hosted Thursday evening by the Lamesa Area Chamber of Commerce.
One position remained without a single candidate when the filing period for 10 different seats on four local governing boards officially ended Friday afternoon.
The following were among the many calls received recently by the Lamesa Police Department:
A possible property transfer and proposals to demolish eight different buildings here will be among a long list of business facing the Lamesa City Council during their regular meeting Tuesday evening.
Twenty-seven permits for new water wells scattered across the county were approved Wednesday by directors of the Mesa Underground Water Conservation District.
The possible purchase of property for the district’s bus barn and other usages is among the items to be considered by Lamesa school board members during their regular monthly meeting this coming week.
The tale unleashed in this space this day is difficult to categorize. Some will say it is typical of “fake news”; others will insist that it best “fits” somewhere in the dizzy, digital world of social media. This column reminds me of the line TV’s long-running series, Hee Haw, tossed at viewers regularly: “I hate to repeat gossip, but don’t know what else to do with it.”
Most of us love our community and want the best for it. It’s our home. It’s where we live, work, learn, play, and raise our families. And yet, it’s easy to go about our daily lives without ever stopping to think, What can I do to make my community better?
