  • You can observe a lot by just watching.
    Yogi Berra

    It is my hope that this forum will serve as an acute observer of Collin County government, leading to the return of the county to those it is supposed to serve.

    I will post my opinions, fair analysis, news clippings that are relevant to local issues, and your comments.

    To post your comment, you may register, or you may post anonymously. Comments will be reviewed before being placed online.

    Comments that I consider inappropriate will be deleted, and the commentator warned. All I ask is that discussions remain civil and courteous. The standard for comments here is "common courtesy".

    Subscribers will receive an email whenever a new blog entry is posted.
