the meeting was set to start at 11am. so far, no members of the five person court are in their seats.The meeting is scheduled to go on now that Hidalgo has appeared.
“I am disappointed that some of my colleagues on Commissioners Court have again refused to negotiate their historic tax increase proposal in good faith. Instead of responding to my proposal or scheduling a discussion-only meeting of Commissioners Court to break the impasse and do what’s right for taxpayers, the majority has again scheduled a meeting to ram through their “solution,” which is literally the only one they’ve posted on the agenda.
