Happy Birthday, America! Thank you for our cover story, and being everything you promised for the folks we know in Georgetown who liked it so much here they became citizens. Thank you also for Texas, baseball, cowboys, good food, people with community spirit, and those who truly serve the public.
As you may have guessed, dear readers, this issue is full of positive stories about great people and events. What better time to celebrate those things while also appreciating the nation that nurtures them?
It is a pleasure to do this job when it means we get to share stories about men like Jacob; a mentor who makes mentors, young people like artist Peyton Vega who are beautifying our city, and Christian rap artist Chad Jackson, who inspired so many at our annual Juneteenth celebration.
We were also fortunate to spend a morning speaking with Representative Terry Wilson about the Texas Legislature’s role in property taxes. This month we address the basics, in what will be a multi-part series we hope will explain and educate those who struggle to read those complicated letters we get from the government, and people who are new to the Texas way of taxing.
And on a lighter note, I couldn’t help but to give in to the trend and try out my Pixar face. It’s fun, but I’m also always the one with the camera so I don’t have any cool photos of myself to share this month.
Happy Independence Day to all!
