Letter on smoking, rights, and community from Baytonians
A reader reflects on 22 years of smoking urged by peer pressure and media. They urge teenagers to avoid smoking, acknowledge addiction, and express desire to quit. The letter argues the debate centers on American and Baytonian rights and laments feeling detached from the community amid petrochemical emissions.
Goose Creek trail bill gains 3400 to correct water miscalculation
Baytown City Council approved a revised work order for Phase 3 of the Goose Creek Stream Greenbelt Trail to fix an irrigation water quantity error. The error listed 0.389 megagallons instead of 389 mega gallons, adding 3400 to the bill. The project is funded 20 percent by the city and 80 percent by the state, with the city covering 3400 and the state about 13600. The state official noted the miscalculation created a balance issue after six months of negotiation with the contractor. The meeting also included annexation plans for a 3.25 acre site for a Dollar Tree center and specifications for the Northeast Wastewater Treatment Plant Offsite Collection System Project, costing 4.2 million and lasting about a year, to support city growth and utilities for a new high school.
