The Baytown Sun, founded in 1922, marks its long history with editors and publishers including War Gamer Gash as editor and publisher David Bloom with Fred Hartman serving as publisher emeritus from 1950 to 1974.
The Baytown Sun editorial board urges voters to approve both propositions on the Sept. 13 ballot. Prop 6 would refinance a home equity loan with a reverse mortgage for qualifying homeowners aged 62 and over, while Prop 16 would also permit line of credit home equity loans and set minimum payout rules. The editors note these changes expand options for seniors and other homeowners to use home equity for education, business, and debt relief, aligning with existing Texas law on home equities.
The Baytown Sun invites public input with weekly editorial board meetings at 2 p.m. on Wednesdays. To schedule, contact Managing Editor David Bloom at 281-422-8302. Letters up to 300 words and guest columns up to 500 words are welcomed with a writer photo.
Guest column argues against Proposition 9 transferring Principal of the Permanent School Fund. It notes the fund started with 2 million dollars, grew to over 18 billion, funds textbooks, and protects bond guarantees. The author warns a yes vote would raid corpus 33 million this year and 331 million overall, risking student resources and school finance stability. Republican David Bradley endorses the argument.
Residents including AJ McGraw urge drastic action on Ferry Road and nearby streets in Baytown amid speeding issues. The letter cites memories of Graywood and 3:49 a.m. moments, while a Michigan reader notes local history and community ties. Concerns about public safety frame the plea for action.
Baytown officials at City Hall 2401 Market St and Goose Creek Administration Building 4544 I 10 East plus trustees serve terms. Council meets on the second and fourth Thursdays at 6 30 p m. Board meets on second and fourth Mondays at 6 30 p m.
