Comments:
This week’s Commissioners Court meeting consisted of mostly routine and perfunctory items that are the regular, day-to-day business of county government. There really wasn’t anything of significant substance requiring extended discussion or detailed comments this week. The Court moved through the agenda efficiently. Since this was my first Commissioners Court after the foot surgery, I was thankful for a short agenda. I’m still adjusting to the crutches!

Remember…
County Commissioners have a duty to:
Protect our citizens’ natural rights against rogue actions of the state or federal government;
Prioritize obtaining “consent of the governed” through transparency and citizen participation;
Ensure every election is secure and the results for every vote cast in every race or ballot initiative can be verified;
Ethically manage county business;
Uphold the rule of law at all times;
Prioritize public safety through effective law enforcement and the court systems;
Represent the people of our precincts over special interests;
Properly maintain county infrastructure (roads, bridges, drainage, buildings, vehicles, equipment, county data, and human resources);
Utilize tax revenue effectively and efficiently, ensuring the highest quality for the best price;
Set a tax rate with the burden of the taxpayer at the forefront of our minds.
