Help the less fortunate
Gun Barrel City — Dear Editor,
Today you and I have a lot to be thankful for.
First we live in America, have a job, pay our bills and support our families. But with the economy in the state its in, there are a lot of people who have lost their jobs and for the first time have had to ask for help.
Not only do they have no job the utilities have gone up and they find they can’t pay them and have no place to go.
The Family Resource Center is helping pay their bills and guide them to other sources that can help them with their particular needs.
We are also lowering our prices in the thrift shop. Our winter clothing is 50% off. This includes our coats. A much needed item with this weather.
We are again giving out “Bonus Bucks.” Those of you that shop with us know how much they help. Our requests have doubled. Any help you can give us will help your neighbors.
We need money, gently used furniture and household items.
Toni Muirhead
Family Resource Director

Look Who's Guarding the Henhouse
In 1998 Barney Frank and Chris Dodd were instrumental in getting legislation through President Clinton requiring banks and other mortgage companies to "look the other way" and give mortgages to homebuyers who could not afford the payments on the homes they were looking to purchase. In many cases, these applicants had no down payment.

Fire Dept. issue needs to be resolved
I have been a resident of Henderson County and the city of Tool for seventeen years. I have been appalled by the ESD No. 4's unwillingness to compromise on the use of our tax dollars. The citizens of Tool voted for an ad valorem tax to upgrade the cities fire department, fire fighting equipment and firefighting training. ESD No. 4 quickly jumped in to misappropriate our tax funds for their own use.
