LIV News! Bastrop Bellwether • Early Voting Local Elections Ap. 22-29 • Lege Water News • Move the Plant News

Please share the real story behind a fantasy made up by a Bastrop City Council member named John. He's on the ballot in the local city council election.

This entire newsletter is also parked under this link. Early voting in local elections is through April 29th. No voting on the weekend, but it will kick up again on Monday and Tuesday, April 28th and 29th Election Day is Saturday, May 3rd.

Take a 40-second look at this farcical (and hilarious) video going viral in Bastrop.

Cecilia Serna (Pl. 1)

Cheryl Lee (Pl. 5) Ward Northcutt for Bastrop Mayor
