HIGHLIGHTS FROMTHISMONTH
FROMAMY: This month, we took a local look at a national issue: supply chain shortages. From toilet paper to gasoline, prices have been uctuating signi cantly since the pandemic began. We pursued some local insight on the topic. We also included some details on an interesting local nonpro t named God’s Garden. Amy Martinez, GENERALMANAGER

FROMLAURA: This month, you may notice a slight change in my byline. In April, I made the switch from “Laura Aebi” to “Laura Robb” after marrying the man I have been with for nearly a decade. Both the wedding and honeymoon were wonderful, but I am thrilled to be back to work and I’m ready to bring you the best hyperlocal news from throughout the Sugar Land and Missouri City area.
