Letters to the Editor

Body Dear editor, On behalf of myself and the entire Pecos County Historical Commission, I want to thank the community for its support for our recent dedication of the new Texas Historical Marker honoring Felis Garza and Bernardo and Cesario Torres.

Body Letter to the Editor Recently, the Department of Homeland Security has moved forward with plans for the construction of a physical border wall through Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park. So, why no wall? Here are my questions: Why does it matter to me?

Body I am honored to introduce myself to the community as your new Postmaster. My name is Adrian Barcenas, and I’m excited to continue to serve the residents and businesses of Fort Stockton, Texas, in this new role.

Body Dear FSISD School Community, This will be my final year as Superintendent. I communicated my intent to the school board in January 2025.

Body This letter is in regard to the situation with the Pecos County Memorial Hospital District and Dr Pamela Gougler contract dispute. My first question is: Why would you not renew a contract that generates revenue for the hospital?

Body I write this on behalf of myself; however, I have been told countless times I am speaking for many including some that are afraid of losing their jobs at the hospital. There is a consensus of concern and confusion for us who see Dr.

Body As a lifelong resident of Fort Stockton and a proud member of this blessed community for over 60 years, I feel called to share my thoughts about the bond proposition for Fort Stockton ISD.

Body Dear Editor, A couple of huge wind projects are applying for property tax exemptions from the hospital district and the county. The 2 projects posted in this paper total about 1.7 billion dollars.

Body In reference to the proposed raising of property taxes: I can’t say that I know other people’s circumstances. I can only speak for my own.

Body Dear Editor, In our current political climate, we have a lot of people who insist that government “can’t do anything right” and we shouldn’t trust it to deliver good service for us.
