CCAD Sends Out 2016
Tax Appraisal Notices
COOKE COUNTY –
Cooke County Appraisal
District will be mailing approximately 18,000 real
property appraisal notices
on May 2, 2016.
Under Texas law, county
appraisal districts are required to notify property
owners regarding changes in
their property’s value if it increased by $1,000 or more.
A notice must also be mailed
to all properties receiving a
homestead exemption, all
properties where the mailing address and the situs address are the same with no
homestead exemption, any
new property owners that
did not receive a notice in
2015, any new property accounts and any properties
where an over 65 exemption
was removed or prorated off.
The notice contains important information about the
property’s location, ownership and property tax ex-
emptions that have been applied to the property.
It must also include an estimate of 2016 taxes by local
taxing units. This estimate is
using the 2015 tax rates and
the proposed value for 2016.
Your city, county, school district and other local taxing
units will use the appraisal
district’s value to set their
2016 property tax rates.
Business Personal Property and Mineral appraisal
notices will be mailed at a
later date.
Property owners who
disagree with the appraised
value of their property, the
exemptions or any other action by the appraisal district
have the right to appeal to
the Cooke County Appraisal Review Board (ARB). The
ARB is an independent panel of citizens responsible for
hearing and settling property owner protests. The
notice of appraised value in-
cludes instructions on how
and when to file a protest,
a protest form and Property
Taxpayer Remedies published by the Texas Comptroller’s office. The deadline
for filing a protest with the
ARB is May 31, 2016 or 30
days after the appraisal district mailed your notice of
appraised value, whichever
is later.
The Comptroller’s publication, Property Taxpayer
Remedies, explains in detail
how to protest your property appraisal, what issues the
ARB can consider and what
to expect during a protest
hearing. The publication
also discusses the options of
taking your case to court,
the State Office of Administrative Hearings (SOAH)
or binding arbitration if you
are dissatisfied with the outcome of your ARB hearing.
Property Taxpayer Remedies
is available at the Cooke
County Appraisal District at
201 N Dixon St, Gainesville,
Texas or our website www.
cookecad.org. The publication is also available on the
Comptroller’s Property Tax
Assistance Division’s website at www.window.state.
tx.us/taxinfo/proptax/. Also
available on the Comptrollers’ website and the appraisal district website are
two videos “How to Present
Your Case at an ARB Hearing: A Homeowners Guide”
and “How to Present Your
Case at an ARB Hearing: A
Guide for Small Businesses”
at www.window.state.tx.us/
taxinfo/proptax/video.
You can file your protest
by US mail, email, and fax
or by dropping it off at our
office. Some property owners will have the ability to
file their protest online using the appraisal district
website, www.cookecad.org.
Most issues can be worked
out by meeting with an appraiser at our office.

the church throughout the
years.
A reservation only dinner
will be provided Saturday
evening at 6:30 followed by
a concert at 7:30 p.m. (open

Christians to affirm the authority of the Bible as the
word of God, justification
was by grace alone, through
faith alone and that the work
of Christ alone was sufficient
for our salvation. Those in attendance were told of a Presbyterian denomination that
strongly affirmed these basic
truths, the Bible Presbyterian
Church.
The meeting resulted in
the organization of the Bible
Presbyterian Church. The
church had no regular pastor
for almost the entire first year.
Ministry in the word was led
by their own elders or by
supply speakers from Dallas
seminary. The first meeting
place was in the chapel of the
Leazer-Keel funeral home, at
the corner of Grand Avenue
and E. California streets. After a very short time, a lease
was secured on part of the
old Lindsay House Hotel,
located at the corner of California and Denton streets.
The church was still meeting in that building when,
during the autumn of 1946
Dr. Robert G. Rayburn completed his tour of duty in the
chaplain corps of the U.S.
Army, and was called as the
first pastor.
During Dr. Rayburn’s
ministry, a downtown coffee house mission and a jail
mission were instituted. The
church purchased the property of the Will Scott estate.
The purchase included almost all the land now owned
by the church, plus the old
two story frame Scott mansion and outbuildings. Near
the Denton street corner of
the lot, behind the wrought
iron fence, was a large concrete goldfish pond. An ornamental cast iron water
fountain stood in its center.
That same fountain now
stands in its new pool in the
courtyard in front of Grace
Hall. The church met in the
Scott mansion for worship
and Sunday school.
In 1948, the church purchased a chapel building
that had become surplus
when Camp Howze, a large
U.S. Infantry training base
located northwest of town,
was closed. The building was
moved intact onto its present location at the corner of
Scott and Denton streets and
is the building now used to
hold Sunday worship. Will
Scott Richter, who was a
Dallas architect and Gainesville native, donated designs
for the front porch, the steeple as well as other amenities.
A local building contractor,
Bill Ratcliff, was employed
to oversee the improvements,
including the foundation
and brick veneer.
After the Scott Street
church was well established,
Dr. Rayburn resigned the
pulpit to become involved
with teaching and administration in the denomination’s
educational institutions. He
was succeeded by the Rev.
Herbert Anderson. During
Rev. Anderson’s pastorate,
the small indebtedness of the
sanctuary was retired and the
congregation increased in
number. Rev. Anderson was
succeeded by the Rev. Nelson
Malkus. In 1957 during Rev.
Malkus’ pastorate, the manse
was constructed and the
Gainesville Christian Kindergarten was organized. The
kindergarten was first envisioned as an interdenominational effort, so the first
board of directors included a
Baptist and a Methodist. The
kindergarten, however, was
so blessed with success, the
other churchmen resigned
in order to form pre-school
groups in their own churches. Gainesville Christian
Kindergarten closed upon
the retirement of long-time
teachers, Louise Thurman
Lewis and Jean Tutt at the
end of the 1998/99 school
year. Rev. Malkus resigned
in January, 1957, to go to a
new work in Nebraska, and
Rev. Kyle Thurman came in
March, 1957. He remained
as pastor for thirty-one and
a half years, until the Lord
called him home. In 1964,
the old Scott mansion was
demolished and Grace Hall
was constructed.
In 1959, when the Bible
Presbyterian Church merged
into the Reformed Presbyterian Church Evangelical
Synod, the church changed
its name to Westminster
Presbyterian Church. When
this denomination merged
with
the
Presbyterian
Church in America (PCA),
it became part of a theological environment which
maintained the principles
and upheld the standards
upon which the organizing
members firmly stood in
1946.
Following the death of the
Rev. Kyle Thurman, the Rev.
Danny Ketchum assumed
the pastoral position. He
served until March, 1992.
Dr. Fred F. Guthrie, Jr., became pastor in November,
1992, and served through
February, 1996.
Current Pastor, Darrell
McIntyre, came in August
1999. Under his leadership,
the church looks forward to
continued growth, an emphasis on God-centered worship, Christian education
and world-wide missions
outreach.

COOKE COUNTY –
Saturday, May 14 will
mark one the of the largest day of giving with the
National Association of
Letter Carriers 24th Annual “Stamp Out Hunger” Food Drive. Supported by the United
States Postal Service, your
Gainesville Post Office
letter carriers will be collecting
non-perishable
food donated by our customers while delivering
the daily mail.
Contributing to the
food drive is simple. Customers may bring donations from May 9 to 13,
the week prior to the
collection, to the post
office at 321 E. California Street or customers
should place a donation
bag by their mailbox on
Saturday, May 14 for pick
up at their standard mail
Free Norvell samples for everyone!

delivery time. The letter
carriers will do the rest!
At the end of their day,
the letter carrier’s weigh
their trucks at Tony’s Seed
and Feed and all of the donations are driven directly
to the local food pantry
“VISTO” with Do Me
Tattoos “Do it to it crew”
volunteering to unload
the carrier’s trucks. This
effort is to help support
individuals and families
during summer months
that are experiencing a
shortage of food who live
in Cooke County.
Last year, it rained and
donations were at an alltime low and VISTO
struggled. So this year we
are hoping for a huge day
of giving for this summer’s needs. Celebrate a
community day of giving
with your local post office.
The timing of this drive
is critical because food
panties receive a large
portion of their food donations around Thanksgiving and Christmas
time. By the time spring
arrives, pantries are in
need of donations to help
support families during
the summer. This time
of the year is important
because children will not
receive their school break-
fast and lunch programs
due to summer vacation.
The “Stamp Out Hunger” Food Drive on Saturday, May 14 will provide
extra resources to our local community pantry,
VISTO. The top needs
for the pantry are: 1 or 2
lb. bags of beans and rice,
canned fruit, canned meat
and tuna fish, peanut
butter and jelly, and any
tomato product. Other
types of foods needed
at the pantry include:
dinner boxes, macaroni
and cheese, pasta, soups,
crackers and cereal. Items
they hardly ever receive
are 1 lb bag/box of sugar,
pancake syrup, powdered
milk, gravy mixes, paper
products and hygiene
items, to name just a few.

Office at 940-665-5811.

NCTC Adds Rodeo Team B E A R I N G S
ndustrial Bearings Company
GAINESVILLE - The
North Central Texas College
Agriculture
Department
continues to grow. Starting
in the Fall 2016 semester
the department is adding a
Rodeo Team.
All of the programs within
the department, including
Agriculture, Farm & Ranch
Management, Equine Science and Horticulture, have
experienced growth and student success over the past
several years and are healthy
programs. The rodeo team,
however, will add another
opportunity for students
while contributing to the
overall growth of the college
and our community.
“We are very excited to
bring Rodeo back to NCTC
Gainesville,” said NCTC
President, Dr. Brent Wallace. “This program will not
only provide further opportunities for students, but
will assist in continuing to
build the on the strength of
our Equine and Agriculture
programs.”
The National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association
(NIRA), the sanctioning
body for College Rodeo,
has a rich history of over
50 years. The NIRA hosts
events all over the United
States, divided into eleven
different regions. Texas itself has nearly 30 colleges
and universities that field
men’s and women’s rodeo
teams. Texas is divided into
two regions for competition,
the Southern region, which
includes schools mostly east
of I-35 down to Uvalde and
Kingsville, and the Southwest Region, which includes
schools west of I-35 out to
Hobbs, NM. NCTC will be
competing in the Southwest
Region. Each year the team
will compete in 10 college
rodeos hosted by schools
in the region. The top two
teams from each of the eleven regions qualify for the
College National Finals Rodeo which is currently being
held in Casper, WY the first
part of June each year.
Steve Keith, Agriculture
Department Chair, has
been busy for months raising money and planning
for this team. Keith is no
newcomer to rodeo himself,
being a three-time qualifier for the College National
Finals, a four-time Professional Rodeo Cowboy Asso-
ciation (PRCA) circuit finals
qualifier and a college rodeo
coach for six years before
joining NCTC as the Agriculture Department Chair.
“This is both an exciting
opportunity and an exciting challenge,” said Keith.
“Our norm will no longer
be the norm when we return
to school this Fall as we plan
for housing practice cattle
for the team, as well as provide trailer parking and horse
stalls for team members –
those are great problems to
have. This team will truly be
a great asset for our college
and for local youth coming
up through the ranks of junior and high school rodeo
to be able to attend college
and compete locally while
honing their skills at the next
level in pursuit of lucrative
rodeo scholarships from universities once they complete
their degree at NCTC. What
better place for a rodeo team
than in North Texas – the
heart of horse country.”
The NCTC Ag Department has already seen wild
success with other Equestrian teams and looks forward
to adding another opportunity for students to succeed.
“Over the past four to five
years, our Intercollegiate
Horse Show Association
(IHSA) and Ranch Horse
teams have experienced
growing success from trainer
awards, to Hi-Point riders
and students traveling coastto-coast to compete in semifinals and national finals
competition,” said Keith.
“We expect our Rodeo Team
to grow and develop into the
same caliber program as our
other teams”
NCTC is accepting students now for the Fall 2016
Rodeo Team. Students may
be eligible for scholarships.
“We truly appreciate
those who are making contributions of time, money
and resources to aid in first
year of this program and
look forward to its continued growth and success in
years to come,” said Wallace.

one of the other Equestrian
teams, or available scholarships contact Steve Keith

board agreed to the 8 percent requested of Eikon
in order to keep the contracts for the school going

continued food services for
each campus in the district.
Dr. Brasher recommended
the renewal and Presson
commended Aramark on a
job well done.
Board members voted
not to send out a Request
for Qualifications (RFQ)
for an Extrenal Audit Firm
as they are pleased with
their current audit firm
of Schalk & Smith, PC.
With that being said, the
board approved a contract
extension with Schalk &
Smith, PC.
The board tabled a vote
to extend their electricity
contract with Direct Energy. The contract renewal
would consist of rate of
$0.04419 for 24 months
beginning in July 2018
and running through
July 2020. This would be
an estimated savings of
$61,827.00 with the 24
month contract. Board
members were pleased
with the projected savings
and tabled this item in order for research to be done
to see if the school could
get out of the current contract in order to begin the
new contract with Direct
Energy prior to 2018.
Dr. Brasher and the
board reviewed the enrollment and attendance as
well as the U.S. Employee
Benefits Service Group
and the Tax Ratification
Election Timeline. Early
Voting for the Tax Ratification Election will begin
June 1, 2016 and will run
through June 14, 2016
from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00
p.m. at the GISD Administration Building. Election Day will be June 18,
2016 at the GISD Administration Building from
7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
The Canvass of the Election will be June 27, 2016.
Dr. Brasher also noted
the date and time of the
annual GISD Education
Foundation Shining Stars
Gala which will be held on
the evening of Monday,
May 2, 2016 beginning
at 7:00 p.m at the First
United Methodist Church
in Gainesville.
Board members retreated into Executive Session
at 6:04 p.m. to discuss the
hiring of professional personnel. Upon returning
into open session at 6:35
p.m., the board voted to
approve the hiring of professional personnel as recommended by Dr. Brasher.
The board unanimously approved the consent
agenda items which included the minutes of the
regular meeting of March
21, 2016, the monthly
bill list, the financial statements and the budget
amendments.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:35 p.m. with
all members present.

New Training Classes
For Casa Start May 6
GAINESVILLE - Spring is
the perfect time for you to
become a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate)
with new training classes
starting May 6. CASA is in
desperate need of new volunteers, as there are many
children without a CASA in
Cooke County.
CASA of North Texas advocates for abused and neglected children in the court
system. CASAs are appointed by judges to help the
courts deal with the overwhelmingly difficult and
costly increase in child abuse
cases. The CASA volunteer
is an independent voice for
a child, assuring that their
needs are met.
The criteria are having
a passion for the safety of
children, having an average
of fifteen hours per month
to dedicate to the child, being able to pass CPS and
criminal background checks
(which must be clear), having good references, and being over the age of 21. Volunteers must complete 33
hours of training provided
by CASA before they are approved to serve as advocates
for children.
Classes meet eight times,
twice a week, for three hours
at a time. Classes can be
scheduled during the day, or
evening depending on the
volunteer’s schedule.
For more information
on how you can volunteer,
call the CASA office (940)
665-2244, or visit either of
the CASA websites, www.
casant.org, or www.becomeacasa.org. You may also
contact CASA’s Recruiter,
Jerry Metzler via e-mail at
[email protected]. You’re
encouraged to contact
CASA before the training
session begins.
Insurance can be tricky, are you sure you are
covered for when it hits?
Give us a call and let us guide you through
the process.

Opinions
Patrick J. Buchanan
Dishonoring General Jackson
By Patrick J. Buchanan
In Samuel Eliot Morison’s
“The Oxford History of the
American People,” there is a
single sentence about Harriet Tubman.
“An illiterate field hand,
(Tubman) not only escaped
herself but returned repeatedly and guided more than
300 slaves to freedom.”
Morison, however, devotes most of five chapters
to the greatest soldierstatesman in American history, save Washington, that
pivotal figure between the
Founding Fathers and the
Civil War -- Andrew Jackson.
Slashed by a British officer in the Revolution, and
a POW at 14, the orphaned
Jackson went west, rose to
head up the Tennessee militia, crushed an Indian uprising at Horseshoe Bend,
Alabama, in the War of
1812, then was ordered to
New Orleans to defend the
threatened city.
In one of the greatest
victories in American history, memorialized in song,
Jackson routed a British
army and aborted a British
scheme to seize New Orleans, close the Mississippi,
and split the Union.
In 1818, ordered to clean
out renegade Indians rampaging in Georgia, Jackson
stormed into Florida, seized
and hanged two British agitators, put the Spanish governor on a boat to Cuba,
and claimed Florida for the
USA.
Secretary of State John
Quincy Adams closed the
deal. Florida was ours, and
Jacksonville is among its
great cities.
Though he ran first in
popular and electoral votes
in 1824, Jackson was denied
the presidency by the “corrupt bargain” of Adams and
Henry Clay, who got secretary of state.
Jackson came back to win
the presidency in 1828, recognized the Texas republic
of his old subaltern Sam
Houston, who had torn it
from Mexico, and saw his
vice president elected after
his two terms.
He ended his life at his
beloved Hermitage, pushing for the annexation of
Texas and nomination of
“dark horse” James K. Polk,
who would seize the Southwest and California from
Mexico and almost double
the size of the Union.
Was Jackson responsible
for the Cherokees’ “Trail of
Tears”?
Yes. And Harry Truman
did Hiroshima, and Winston Churchill did Dresden.
Great men are rarely
good men, and Jackson was
a Scots-Irish duelist, Indian
fighter and slave owner. But
then, Presidents Washington, Jefferson, Madison and
Monroe were slave owners
before him.
To remove his portrait
from the front of the $20
bill, and replace it with
Tubman’s, is affirmative action that approaches the absurd.
Whatever one’s admira-
tion for Tubman and her
cause, she is not the figure
in history Jackson was.
Indeed, if the fight against
slavery is the greatest cause
in our history, why not
honor John Brown, hanged
for his raid on Harper’s
Ferry to start a revolution
to free the slaves, after he
butchered slave owners in
“Bleeding Kansas”? John
Brown was the real deal.
But replacing Jackson
with Tubman is not the
only change coming.
The back of the $5 bill
will soon feature Martin
Luther King, Eleanor Roosevelt, and opera singer
Marian Anderson, who performed at the Lincoln Memorial after being kept out
of segregated Constitution
Hall in 1939.
That act of race discrimination came during the second term of FDR, Eleanor’s
husband and the liberal
icon who named Klansman
Hugo Black to the Supreme
Court and put 110,000
Japanese into concentration
camps.
And, lest we forget, while
Abraham Lincoln remains
on the front of the $5 bill,
the war he launched cost
620,000 dead, and his beliefs in white supremacy
and racial separatism were
closer to those of David
Duke than Dr. King.
Alexander Hamilton, the
architect of the American
economy, will stay on the
$10 bill, due in part to the
intervention of hip-hop artists from the popular musical, “Hamilton,” in New
York.
But Susan B. Anthony,
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
and Sojourner Truth, who
fought for women’s suffrage, will be put on the
back of the $10. While
Anthony and Stanton appear in Morison’s history,
Sojourner Truth does not.
Added up, while dishonoring Andrew Jackson,
Treasury Secretary Jack Lew
is putting on the U.S. currency six women -- three
white, three African-American -- and King.
No Catholics, no conservatives, no Hispanics, no
white males were apparently
even considered.
This is affirmative action raised to fanaticism,
a celebration of President
Obama’s views and values,
and a recasting of our cur-
rency to make Obama’s
constituents happy at the
expense of America’s greatest heroes and historic
truth. Leftist role models
for American kids now take
precedence over the history
of our Republic in those we
honor.
While King already has a
holiday and monument in
D.C., were the achievements
of any of these six women remotely comparable to what
the six men honored on our
currency -- Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton, Jackson,
President Grant and Ben
Franklin -- achieved?
Whatever may be said for
Eleanor Roosevelt, compared to her husband, she is
an inconsequential figure in
American history.
In the dystopian novel,
“1984,” Winston Smith
labors in the Ministry of
Truth, dropping down the
“memory hole” stories that
must be rewritten to reindoctrinate the party and
proles in the new history, as
determined by Big Brother.
Jack Lew would have fit
right in there.

Mark Shields
Sanders Makes History
Before ever running for the
White House, our typical
presidential candidate has
already won and held high
public office, having served
as a governor, mayor or
member of Congress. These
candidates have almost always known previous political success before nearly
every one of them fails in
the presidential quest and
leaves the campaign. And
it is often the case that they
are deep in debt, with their
personal stature and public
record diminished.
By Mark Shields
But not Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who, regardless of the outcome of
his contest with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, is guaranteed to leave
the 2016 campaign with his
political power and influence enormously magnified
and with his position in political history secure.
Yes, in New Hampshire,
he did become the first
Jewish American to win a
presidential primary, no minor achievement. But more
importantly, at a time when
the Democratic Party has
rationalized its own growing
dependency on six-figure
contributions -- often from
the same business interests
that have financed the Republicans (Dems couldn’t
afford to “unilaterally disarm” against the GOP)
-- and muted its economic
justice traditions, Sanders,
a democratic socialist, liberated the party of FDR from
tin-cupping outside the corporate suites by his ability to
raise more than $182 million, including $46 million
Letter to the Editor...
Editor’s note – Letters
to the Editor reflect only
the opinion of the author
and not that of The Weekly
News of Cooke County.
Facts contained in Letters
to the Editor are claims of
the author only. The (...)
denotes areas that have
been edited.
To the Editor,
I was researching doctors, specialists and hospitals to see who is “in network”. There are very few
specialists that are in my
HMO in Cooke County. I
was able to find that North
Texas Medical Center is
in the HMO network.
I called the hospital and
asked why there are so few
specialist that can work under HMO’s although they
practice and live here. I
was told that some specialists are “paid” employees
of the hospital and have a
contract thru North Texas
Medical Center. The statement was made to me “that
HMO’s don’t pay enough”.
My response was , “ so the
hospital would rather have
no money instead of receiving payments from an
HMO when services are
performed”?
NTMC does not want
their specialists to sign up
under HMO’s because
they claim it doesn’t pay
enough! I pointed out that
I have to drive to the Metroplex in order to find a
specialist, and it would be
beneficial for the hospital
to allow these specialists
to enroll in HMO’s since
it would bring in patients
from all the surrounding
counties. The fact is, the
lack of specialists who can
not sign up at our hospital will cause the loss of
patients and revenue that
would come to our county
and hospital. We are forced
to go elsewhere although
NTMC is an HMO hospital!
What good is a hospital
in network when very few
of the specialists are not?
We could gain more paying patients and insurance
revenue if the specialists
could sign up under HMO
plans at North Texas Medical Center.
It saddens me to see our
hospital make poor decisions for the community,
doctors, and patients while
the hospital is already
struggling with finances.
Everyone should get involved and educated on
these issues. We should try
to change the way of thinking at our local hospital by
contacting hospital officials, and help our hospital
to be successful with common sense solutions for all!
Lets get started before it is
too late!

No longer is there the unhappy possibility of voters
having to choose, especially
on business issues, between
“two Republican parties
divided by abortion and
LGBT rights.” Consistent
with the values of a world
leader he so openly admires,
good Pope Francis, Sanders insists on looking at the
economy from the bottom
up and from the outside in.
Sanders’ remarkable success
all but ensures that the next
treasury secretary will not be
an alumnus of Citigroup or
Goldman Sachs.
Bernie Sanders is the political success story of 2016.
Ten months ago in the Wall
Street Journal/NBC News
poll, Sanders was 60 points
behind Clinton, 75-15 percent. Today, in the same
poll, he is the choice of 48
percent of Democrats to her
50 percent, which means
Sanders has basically eliminated Clinton’s lead.
Alone of the principal remaining candidates -- Clinton, Donald Trump and Ted
Cruz -- Sanders, with a personal rating among all voters
of 45 percent positive to 36
percent negative, gets favorable marks.
Cruz is 26 percent positive, 49 percent negative.
Clinton is 32 percent positive, 56 percent negative.
And Trump -- at 24 percent positive and 65 percent
negative among all voters -brings up the rear.
As Oscar Levant said of
the fresh-faced singer-actress
who played the girl next
door, “I knew Doris Day
before she was a virgin.”
Sanders is no plaster saint.
He did win his first House
race by campaigning against
his Republican opponent’s
votes to ban semi-automatic
weapons and to back President George H.W. Bush’s
compromise with congressional Democrats to raise
taxes, including the gasoline
tax.
Though Clinton is the
clear favorite to win the
Democratic
presidential
nomination -- and, given
the historically high voter
disapproval of the Republican front-runner, maybe the
favorite as well in November
-- Bernie Sanders is the one
candidate certain to emerge
from 2016 as the established
leader of a real national
movement. Having already
seen Clinton shift in his direction on raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour,
in opposing the Obama Pacific trade pact and in criticism of Wall Street, Sanders has the voter and donor
support to carry his message
all the way to the writing of
the party platform in Philadelphia. By financing his
remarkable campaign independent of any corporate
or political action committee ties, Sanders has already
written history.

the desire to share $200
million to $250 million in
annual federal income tax
savings with Oncor ratepayers. Originally, Oncor
planned to provide the savings in 2018, but this resolution, along with those
of other cities supporting
this, will request that they
provide the savings this
year.
The consumption of alcohol was approved at the
Gainesville Municipal Airport on May 7, 2016 for
the Gainesville Flyers Club’s
annual fundraising event.
This will be the third annual
Crawfish Boil Fundraiser
event put on by the Gainesville Flyers Club and it will
take place at the Multi-Use
Hangar (MUH) on Saturday, May 7. The area will
be supervised by event staff
and all proceeds of the event
are to benefit the Gainesville
Flyers, a non-profit organization.
Councilmembers authorized release of City liens
against the properties located at 1003 Foreman
Street and 711 Field Street
in order for these properties to be sold at the next

holds a demolition lien and
a mowing lien against the
property at 1003 Foreman
Street, totaling $6,207.93.

The City holds a demoli-
tion lien and mowing lien

Barry Sullivan explained
that this would have otherwise been considered prior
to the sale.

regular City Council meeting of April 5, 2016.
With no further action
