To the Editor: I wish to make a few comments concerning the article in the Clock Tower on governmental workers at the Caldwell County Sheriff’s Department and the Jail. I began full-time work at the Caldwell County Jail in 1987; however, that job alone didn’t pay enough to make a living. At one time during […]

Soccer for fun, not funding To the Editor: I wish to commend the Post-Register for the absence of World Cup coverage, at least in the July 3 and 10 issues. For weeks now U.S. journalism has had soccer on the brain. But Lockhart’s paper has kept its head. Not that I am totally indifferent to […]

By Kathi Bliss Editor/POST-REGISTER It was very interesting, on Monday, to listen to the first round of budget negotiations amongst the Caldwell County Commissioners Court.

By Kathi Bliss Editor/POST-REGISTER For several years now, the residents of Martindale have been involved in a sometimes-bitter battle that the rest of us in the county tend to ignore.

I’ve been watching opponents of the decision – including Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, who wrote a scathing dissent to […]

To the Editor: In regards to the last public meeting, I am would be very interested to know how many of the people who attended the meeting that were in favor of the proposed “Environmental Park” lived anywhere near the area that will be affected by this. It is very easy for those who are […]

To the Editor: Thank you for the ongoing coverage of the very important issue of the proposed landfill, as well as publication of important notices that relate to this topic. EPICC has received much positive feedback from the community about how invaluable timely and accurate information is to help follow and understand this monumental proposal. […]

Martindale VFD thanks supporters To the Editor: The Martindale Volunteer Fire Department would like to sincerely thank all of the members of the community that responded to our call for petition signatures for our Emergency Services District petition. We had an amazing response from everyone we spoke to. We look forward to working with members […]

By Kathi Bliss Editor/POST-REGISTER   A friend of mine made an interesting observation on the heels of the school shooting in Oregon this week. She said, “it’s a tragic state of affairs when I can’t even get my feathers ruffled about the latest school shooting…” She then challenged herself – and presumably, everyone she knows […]
