Representative Lance Gooden said he is offended by the court’s ruling, because of the merits of the case and because federal courts continue to meddle in Texas’ internal state affairs.

Forney's Crosby Elementary School is the scene of hope at ceremonial tree planting
Nothing beautifies a community like trees. On Thursday, May 10, 2012, the Kaufman County Urban Forester teamed up with Texas Trees Foundation, TXU Energy, and UNFI, to plant a ceremonial tree at Crosby Elementary School in Forney. The Chinquapin oak tree was planted on campus, not far from a small tree that somehow survived the EF-3 tornado that destroyed homes in the Diamond Creek neighborhood. Many more trees are going to be planted in October.
