Fire CenturyLink

I have had CenturyLink as a phone and internet provider for years. I was finally able to drop the phone ‘service’ that CenturyLink ‘provided’ at $60 per month including all of their junk fees and junk taxes. I now pay a VOIP company $5.41 a month that includes all of the junk fees and junk taxes. I am still stuck with CenturyLink’s internet ‘service’ as they are the only monopoly in town. Every time I update or ‘upgrade’ my internet ‘service’ with CenturyLink, I have problems. Problems with the installation, problems with the billing, problems with their customer no-service. The problems go on and on. After a year of relatively fewer problems, I just ‘upgraded’ to their ‘high-speed’ internet service and was immediately hit with problems yet again. Problems with non answers from their customer no-service to different answers every time I called them for ‘service’ and got passed from department to department. I won’t even go into the rumors I’ve heard of CenturyLink overselling their ‘high-speed’ internet by 190% and then throttling everyone down to half the speed they advertise. Sheesh!
I’m sick and tired of the monopoly that doesn’t care about their customer. I’m sick and tired of calling India when I have a problem. I’m sick and tired of billing problems, I’m sick and tired of CenturyLink.
Help us fire the monopoly and bring a local service that provides a quality, reliable service to the same community they live in.
LET’S FIRE CENTURYLINK!

Letter To The Editor – School Levy Importance

As a city council member in the late 70’s and early 80’s and a city employee for 24 years I have heard a lot of misinformation disseminated through “coffee shop” talk and later social media. It has always concerned me to hear incorrect information passed along by people who don’t bother to ask for the facts, when they are readily available. Right now I am hearing of things being said about the Deer Park School levy, particularly the need for a new bus barn, that are troubling.

Establishing A City Police Department In Deer Park

Every few years the subject of establishing a city police department in Deer Park
makes the rounds on social media, local papers, and even the floor of the City Council.
Since the late 70’s when the city disbanded it’s own department and contracted with
the county, well meaning people have thought that it “seems” like we could fund our
own department for what we are paying the county.

Horrific behavior from a School Board Member

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the ongoing unprofessional and harmful behavior of Deer Park School Board Director Ashby. His public accusations against me, falsely labeling me as unethical, amount to defamation and slander, unfairly damaging my reputation. It is unacceptable for a sitting board member to engage in such reckless and baseless personal attacks.
