Needing a commissioner

Anonymous The Herald-Banner Thu Mar 01, 2012, 11:10 PM CST

To the editor:

Why would county commissioner of Precinct 3 pave a street with thick blacktop when it was not needed? Maybe for votes. Why would same commissioner put in a bridge on a private road? Maybe for votes.

Yet same commissioner put such a thin layer of blacktop on a small portion of Northshore that was rough to drive on and three weeks later when we got the big rain they had to patch holes. He has only topped portions of Northshore saying he was out of money. Yet he topped CR 3602 from 276 all the way to Highway 34 and it does not have near the traffic that is on Northshore.

The cities of Hawk Cove and West Tawakoni and probably other cities have received any help from him at all. It is time the citizens of south Hunt County wake up and go to the polls and let our voices be heard.

We pay taxes same as citizens near Greenville so let’s get a commissioner that we will recognize when we see them in our area. We should have a commissioner who can stand on his own accomplishments and not the ones of someone else.

Vote for new Y
I write to support the YMCA bond election from a perspective of the role they provide in the health of our community. As a health care professional, I have long understood and supported the need and development of a comprehensive Health and Wellness Center which could serve not only as a fitness center and playground, but as a cornerstone for building and maintaining healthy bodies and lifestyles.

In support of new Y
A number of Greenville citizens have asked if we can afford a new YMCA. After many years of being a part of the Y, I think the question is, can we afford not to build a new YMCA?

Needing a commissioner

The last Triple Crown Winner in thoroughbred horse racing in the U.S. was Affirmed in 1978. With Orb's loss in the Preakness there won't be a Triple Crown winner again this year. Will there ever be another Triple Crown winner?
