Thanks to the San Marcos Electric Utility crew for their hard work on down lines

Thanks to the San Marcos Electric Utility crew for their hard work on down lines

Late Thursday (April 6) afternoon, there was extensive damage to the utility poles and lines in the 700 block of Belvin St. The damage appeared to have been caused by a very large truck driving down the street. There was one utility pole leaning at about a 45 degree angle out toward the street. The top portion of another pole had snapped and, while it did not break off, it was dangling downward at an alarming angle. As a result of the damage to the poles there were a lot of low hanging lines over the street and sidewalks. The scene really needed to be seen to be believed, but it was pretty catastrophic. 04/09/2023 05:00 AM

NIGHTMARE ANNIVERSARY 50 YEARS & COUNTING

NIGHTMARE ANNIVERSARY 50 YEARS & COUNTING

I was introduced to the carceral system on March 5th, 2018 when my good friend Devonte Amerson and I were wrongfully accused and placed in Hays County Jail, where we faced seemingly insurmountable circumstances fighting for our justice and freedom. Unfortunately, this is the case for millions of Americans each day that have been subjected to the cruel criminal legal system that exists in this country and in our “Great State of Texas” for the past 50 years. 03/29/2023 12:00 AM
