In keeping with the traditions of Veterans Day, which is Monday, county residents and organizations have been making extra effort over the pas…
By any but the fuzziest definition of the word, Port of Galveston Director Rodger Rees did, in fact, apply for a job in Florida, and then told…
Congratulations and best wishes are in order for the Hitchcock High School marching band, which Wednesday will compete at the Texas University…
Given the city’s recent financial troubles, it’s hard to begrudge Hitchcock a healthy revenue stream, even if that money comes from one of the…
There might not be much point in talking about flu season as if it were a well-defined period of each year with predictable consequences.
It would have been hard to imagine a year ago that we’d be reporting much improved financial news about the city of Hitchcock.
It might be possible to see evidence of racial animus in the video recordings of two Galveston mounted police officers arresting Donald Neely for criminal trespassing in early August, but you have to work at it.
Recently, after reporting a fairly large and vocal bloc of Galveston business leaders opposed plans to build a ring barrier around most of the…
We urge the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department to approve the city of Galveston’s application for money to build a second public boat ramp …

I have no idea what you're talking about.
Vague allusions about performance don't constitute a rationale sufficient to justify what the commission bloc proposes doing.
The fee doesn't apply to children at all.
Ok. Thanks. That helps narrow it down. We've been looking into this but there's nothing obviously wrong on this end. We'll keep trying to figure it out.
