First blog

I had been thinking of starting a newsletter for constituents and friends letting them know about what's going on in District 8 and in our City. I just have not had the time to organize it and by the time a newsletter gets printed and mailed, it's usually old news. So I have decided to post what would have gone into a newsletter on this blog. It will serve the same purpose, save money, and hopefully reach more people. I have also started twitter. You can find me at twitter.com/Laredodistrict8. Twitter is o.k. However, there are times when I would like to keep writing and I have no more room. So, I will try to update this blog as often as possible and will include info on important city issues as well as recaps of events and meetings I attend.
