Multiple projects in the works

Linden is well and things are moving forward on all of our projects. We now have the Library open six days a week, check their FaceBook or website for hours. We have moved forward to the environmental clearance phase on the Park Drainage and Kaufman and Centerhill bridge/culvert project. We hope to fix drainage and get a retention pond in the park behind the Senior Center. The water upgrade project is in the final design phase and we should be putting it up for bid in the next 60 days, work could start in August. You can expect a lot of digging and putting in pits to bore the longer runs under roads. We should be looking at a lot of dirt moving in 2020/21. Once all the dust has settled we should have a water system that provides better pressure and all of the meters will be automatically read by a drive by with a computer. We will still have the ability to manual read, but meter reading will take a lot fewer man hours and we will be able to read them in bad weather.

State defends system of choosing presidential electors

AUSTIN — Texas Deputy Solicitor General Matthew Frederick on Feb. 6 defended the Electoral College system in a case before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Frederick, arguing on behalf of Gov. Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton, maintained that Texas’ method of appointing presidential electors is consistent with the U.S. Constitution’s requirement that “each state shall appoint, in such manner as the legislature thereof may direct, a number of electors, equal to the number of senators and representatives to which the state may be entitled in Congress.”
