A skatepark for Dripping Springs
A skatepark for Dripping Springs
When Dennis Baldwin moved to Dripping Springs in 2011, there were few, if any, places to publicly skateboard. For anything more than the most basic of tricks, a skateboarder would have to make the drive into downtown Austin, facing traffic and crowds. Baldwin, a young father at the time, said he could make it work every now and then. But for children and teens wanting to learn and practice the sport, finding a good place to skateboard was more difficult. 06/16/2022 12:00 AM

Letter to the Editor: "Hays taxes are too darn high"
Letter to the Editor: "Hays taxes are too darn high"
In helping a client with a tax issue involving Travis and Hays County, I was surprised to learn how much higher property taxes are in Hays County for the same value home. Some may think it’s because of skyrocketing tax appraisals, but that is not true. Hays County homeowners’ taxes are higher than necessary (and higher than those in Travis County) because your Hays officials, especially the Commissioners Court and School Boards have not adopted the 20% homestead exemption authorized by Texas Tax Code section 11.13(n). By comparison, Travis County, the City of Austin, and Lake Travis ISD have adopted it. 06/16/2022 12:00 AM
