Letter to the Editor: I oppose the $59.4 million bond package Rockwall voters will consider May 12. While the propositions in the package vary in merit, asking Rockwall property owners to support additional debt under current economic conditions is undesirable if not irresponsible. The people of Rockwall already pay very high property taxes. In 2012, [...]
Letter to the Editor: There are five Bond Propositions that will be before the public for vote on May 12th. There are those in the community who do not favor the bonds for one reason or another. The picture that is being painted by some of those who oppose the bonds, unfortunately, isn’t totally accurate. [...]
Letter To The Editor: As an ordinary citizen, when I look at a list of bond issues submitted for my consideration, I assume they are on the ballot because my duly-elected city council members have vetted these proposals and are recommending them to me as a good idea. This tacit endorsement is what concerns me. [...]

This time it was a married Heath doctor who, last week, committed the horrific murder-suicide of his young girlfriend in Iowa and himself, leaving behind his shocked wife, four children, family and many friends. Last time, in June, 2010, it was the husband [...]
ROCKWALL – LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear County Commissioners: Good afternoon. I am writing you to ask you to revise an outdated policy at the Rockwall County Library. My husband has had a library card for years, but I did not request one until a month ago. When I went in, I was told I [...]
ROCKWALL – Outgoing Rockwall Mayor Bill Cecil (above and left) and Council members Glen Farris (center) and Matt Scott were rightly honored at last week’s City Council meeting when each was presented with a proclamation by the City stating that May 16, 2011 was Mayor William R. Cecil Day, Glen Farris Day and Matthew R. [...]
(Letter to the Editor) ROCKWALL – I would like to give high marks to the Rockwall Mayor and City Council for their efforts to provide municipal services to the recently annexed Lake Rockwall Estates (LRE). They have demonstrated true commitment and compassion for the residents of LRE, particularly in the fight to provide affordable utilities. [...]
Editorial Opinion by J.J. Smith. I’ve heard a lot of talk around town between people questioning the Rockwall City Council’s 6-0 decision Oct. 19 to invest nearly $1 million dollars into increasing the number of boat docks at The Harbor from the current nine to 35-40. Construction is expected to be completed during the summer of 2010. [...]
