| News outlets often refer to early January as a "dead zone." It can seem that way after the surfeit of glittering holiday celebrations and events that start in October. But we're not even halfway through January, and there is so much news in Fort Bend County. The residents of Richmond's Aliana neighborhood are busy watching for mail thieves. They believe that a master key was stolen, compromising outdoor lock boxes in the entire subdivision, and say the local post office has been unresponsive to their complaints. County judges were given emergency authority during the pandemic but this practice is now being questioned. Fort Bend County commissioners last week unanimously amended a proposal that would have allowed County Judge KP George sole control over a $300,000 contract. Kelsey-Seybold Clinic opened a two-story clinic in Stafford. The clinic has room for up to 15 providers and will offer adult and pediatric primary and specialty healthcare, including family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics and pulmonary medicine. Exciting new restaurants are set to open in Houston. Dozens of projects, from indie operators to well-known hospitality groups, are ready to make their 2023 debuts including a few near the Fort Bend area. On a more somber note, former Missouri City cop Robert Fratta, convicted in the 1994 death of his wife, is expected to be executed tonight. He has spent 26 years on death row. The news cycle shows no sign of slowing down. What do you think of the new year so far? Write and let me know at juhi.varma@hcnonline.com. |
