Dear Madison County Residents and specifically precinct one voters,

Body
It is a good time to think about the things I am thankful for after serving for a couple of weeks as precinct one commissioner. I am grateful for the support during the election and the opportunity to serve. Since the election, I have hardly had time to take a break to show my gratitude for all those who have been eager to help set me up for success, including many county officials and specifically the other commissioners who have all voiced their support in helping me to serve you to the best of my ability.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Body
Dear Editor, This past August makes three years since I retired and moved here to Madison County, Texas. I didn’t move here because of the Madisonville ISD ratings or employment. The main reason was for the family and friends I have here. I enjoy reading the Madisonville Meteor newspaper weekly. I would like to point out that at the top right-hand corner of the front page, under the Madisonville Meteor, it says “Thank a Veteran and Serviceman Every Day.” I am a proud Air Force veteran and usually wear something that states that fact. The point of this article is that the three years living here, and going about my daily life, I cannot count on one hand the number people who have thanked me for my service to this great country. This makes me wonder how many veterans in this community are not recognized for their military contributions. If you didn’t serve, it doesn’t mean anything to you. But to those of us who did, a simple thank you means a great deal. Just something to consider, especially since it is on the front page of the paper, every week.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Body
We’ve all had a lot of questions regarding the proposed “PID” or “Public Improvement District”...aka “New Subdivision”. I would like to thank the City of Madisonville for hosting last week’s townhall meeting. There were a lot of good questions, a few answers and, in my opinion, a lot of scripted “sales pitch” responses. I’ve come to expect that from slick politicians and I can’t blame the developers for playing the same game. With that being said, I feel that there are several issues that weren’t answered to everyone’s satisfaction.

Dear Editor

Dear Editor, There has been a lot of interest, some guessing and a bit of speculation about the Villages of Greystone, our planned subdivision southwest of the intersection of I-45 and 21/190. We don’t all have to agree but as good neighbors we need to use facts.

Dear Editor,

Dear Editor, I have known Courtney Cain since she was a young girl, and I can say without a doubt that she would make an excellent District Attorney for the people of Madison County. She has the experience, work ethic and passion to lead the District Attorney’s Office.

Dear Editor,

Dear Editor, It is my pleasure and honor to join my close friend and colleague Don Sowell the Grimes County Sheriff in endorsing Mrs. Courtney Cain for the office of District Attorney here in Madison County.
