The Eyes of Texas are on Williamson County Commissioners Court tomorrow.

It appears that the Williamson County Commissioners are at it again – this time with a jobs “hit list” which will cut positions (funding) from the duly-elected County Attorney.

We have elected Commissioners, and an elected County Attorney, Jana Duty. It appears the Williamson County Commissioners and County Judge Gattis are continuing to disregard the voters of Williamson County by neutering the county attorney office and the county attorney.

This type of retaliation for Duty’s concerns over how the County Commissioners have handled their back-room, under the radar-screen dealings is reprehensible.

The public IS watching and we WILL be participating.
We have checks and balances in government for a reason – so no one elected official nor any one body can conduct illegal activities or inappropriate actions without some public scrutiny. Whistleblowers are to be protected or our form of government will be ineffective.

County commissioners are not czars or kings – they work for the people, just as the county judge does by virtue of his being elected BY THE PEOPLE.

The eyes of Texas are on Williamson County Commissioners Court tomorrow and moving forward.
