HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH
FROM PAPAR: Many citizens rely on mail-in ballots during elections for a variety of reasons. With some legislative changes last year, the number of rejected mail-in ballots skyrocketed during the March primary elections. Read more about Senate Bill 1’s impact on voting in Harris and Galveston counties in our front-page story this month. Papar Faircloth, GENERAL MANAGER
