Veterans: Your service makes ours possible

Each year on Nov.11, we honor military veterans—those in our communities who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Perhaps this year, you will partake in a Veterans Day parade, post something thoughtful to social media and even tell a Veteran you know “thank you for your service”.This year with thousands of troops returning home from Afghanistan and other deployments, we have an opportunity and—I would say—an obligation to do more than simply express our gratitude. We need to repay their sacrifices by doing our part to make sure they have sustainable lives back at home.

Early voting begins on eight proposed amendments

If history is an indicator, Texas voters will likely go to the polls on Nov. 2 in underwhelming numbers to decide the fate of eight proposed amendments to the state’s constitution. With no statewide races on the ballot, and a scattering of local elections for city council and school board, turnout typically is low. Nevertheless, early voting is now underway and continues until Oct. 29.
