Editorial on Wellington Twp zoning board conflict over petition
The letter condemns Wellington Township zoning board member Dominic Verace for collecting petition signatures for a Route 18 rezoning from agricultural residential to business. It notes political influence risks impartial decisions and traces the dispute to new trustees who replaced the zoning inspector. The piece questions motives, cites LMRE sign issues, and urges decisions based on broader land-use planning rather than personal concerns.

Wild animals as pets unleash danger in Texas
Bonnie Erbe argues Harris County lax exotic animal laws enable maulings and the killing of abused wild creatures. She notes legal exceptions allow even a rhinoceros as a pet with cages and rooves, contrasts local rules, and calls for bans to prevent future tragedies like Jayton Tidwell’s arm loss to a Bengal tiger.
