Bastrop Independent News Compiled

Disney's Pinocchio (1940) stopped lying and his wish to become a real boy came true. We wish John Kirkland would become a real man and step down.

LIV and Independent Texans PAC (during the election periods) have written extensively about the problems of "politics, not policy" in the city of Bastrop since May 2024.

Local Bastrop news is in a fix when it comes to local politics. Part of the problem has been the poor and misleading coverage of local politics by Community Impact News.

Below are all the articles for you to read from the latest to the earliest of our perspective on these matters. It's just another view we think Bastropians deserve to read.

We hope you will believe us when we say that you really can't make this stuff up!

And, we hope you will also be entertained by Bastrop Independent News!

We will keep adding new content as we go. If you would like to submit your own article, reach out to us at 512.213.4511 or contact@livtx.org.
