SITE
UPDATED 10 a.m. MONDAY thru FRIDAY.
Much stuff published here is later put in the website equivalent of a storage
closet, and remains accessible, either in a Headline archive or a Commentary
archive, the links to which are always over in the right-hand column >>>
EARLY
VOTING in Saturday's Constitutional Amendment election ends Tuesday.
Bexar county early voting locations here.
Comal county's website is a bit confusing to me, so I'd recommend
you call New Braunfels at 830 620-5520, or the Metro Line from Canyon
Lake to New Braunfels 830 885-4998 for your early voting location. Ditto
for Seguin: for Guadalupe county call 830 303-6363.
I'm voting
NO on Proposition 12. Proponents say doctors are disappearing because
of high medical malpractice damage awards, but the Texas Board of Medical
Examiners website START
HERE shows that there are more and more doctors all the time. San
Antonio Express-News troublemaker Carlos Guerra addresses the contradiction
in his Sunday column "''Liar, liar, pants on fire' hurled at claim
of vanishing doctors" HERE.
Proposed constitutional
amendment would allow the Legislature to cap non-economic damages in
ALL civil actions (not just malpractice)!

This
date in 1900
An un-named hurricane killed 6,000 and inundated the island
of Galveston in 1900 (8th-9th). The wind gauge broke at 120mph. Afterward,
most houses on the island were jacked up and fill dirt was placed
beneath them, raising Galveston higher above sea level. |
