📜 Heroic Hale Hanged: Patriot’s Parting Proclamation Persists

It’s Monday September 22nd. 

It was on this date in 1776 that Nathan Hale was hanged by the British during the American Revolution for spying. As he was being hanged, he made his famous proclamation, "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country."

Our neighbors up in Comfort are asking its residents to request a public hearing with the TCEQ which stands for the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.  Lennar Homes wants a permit to build 1100 homes on 590 acres.  Right now the population of Comfort is less than 3000.  If that goes through the concern is that 600,000 gallons of wastewater will daily flow into North Creek, Cypress Creek and the Guadalupe River. To voice your concerns, it’s encouraged to post your comments at the TCEQ website and we have a direct link in the news blog at boerneradio.com.
