Dan, Thank you as always for your outstanding journalism by sharing Dave Schauf's prepared remarks delivered to the Coppell City Council. His comments and instructions remind me that All Communication Comes with Responsibility and Accountability. This is exactly what our Constitutional Framers intended behind our First Amendment Right to Free Speech. It is always good to see and hear others such as Citizen Dave remind and encourage us to properly exercise our Right to Free Speech. Dan, to post this comment, I experienced your verification checkpoint function for the first time. I understand your intent behind this checkpoint. But I wished it was not necessary: I wish all citizens had more self-restraint, understanding and practicing every day what Citizen Dave reminded us in this video.

When I interviewed the Pine Park duo, they proposed a partnership: What if Coppell Chronicle subscribers could get a discount on hemp by mentioning the phrase “Coppell Chronic”? Although their offer made me laugh, I had to decline.

Dan, one of your best yet, very informative. When I first heard/read about this right-wing moron poor excuse for a human being Stein was in this newsletter. Stein sure checks all the boxes if you catch my drift. I didn’t take the deep dive on this idiot until recently, after reading this edition and listening to the passion and eloquence of Mr. Dave Schauf. No one could’ve said it better. Thank you, Dave. I would love to hear the Council’s thoughts and/rebuttal, looked like Mr. novels found it amusing before the recording cut out.

Alex Stein consistently uses the Citizen’s Appearance portion of our meetings for self-promotion rather than to address genuine issues affecting the residents of Coppell. His approach lacks respect and does not contribute to meaningful discussions that benefit our community.

I appreciate Mr. Schauf for sharing his perspective on how to handle disruptions like this. Striking the right balance in these situations is important, and we regularly consult with our city attorney to ensure we uphold both order and free speech. While the system may not be perfect, I believe it is better to err on the side of less restriction to avoid unintentionally limiting anyone’s First Amendment rights.

I'll add another problem with USPS, main post office location. Whenever I need to mail a check, I ALWAYS go into the main post office and drop my check into the Letter slot. On 2/24, I mailed a check to Frontier and as of 3/16, this check has still not cleared my bank. I spoke with Frontier prior to the payment due date and gave them authorization to make a one time charge to my credit card. IF this check EVER appears at Frontier, which by not I assume it won't, they will apply it to a future bill. Other checks I mailed at the same time on 2/24 have long since been cleared by my bank. Long ago, when occasionally there were envelopes filling the mouth of that outside drop box, I stopped using it.

Thanks for all the updates, Dan. On the mailbox thefts. Not a surprise. For the last six months every two weeks I have driven by and the whole box is stuffed with mail sticking out of the opening. First, someone or some COMPANY is using this box dumping in a massive amount of mail at one time. There should be a way to force this or these to bring this amount of mail inside to deposit. Second, it's kind of "be warned" If you drive up and the mail is hanging out of the top of the deposit, why in the dickens would you just stick your mail in there, especially if it was a check or any confidential information. These people are not having to break in, they are just picking off the overflow. Can anyone say surveillance camara at a position that would catch license plates????? Or perhaps the "public servants' of the post office night empty the box more often,. kind of like Dr. Pepper, ten, two and five.
