• A while back, I'd written about a legal battle involving Kaufman County that appeared to be heading to the Texas Supreme Court. Well, it apparently will be a hot topic again as it has made its way onto next week's commissioners court agenda (in executive session) and here as well.
• Texas Legislature special session gets under way today. Link.
• Earlier this year, Congress passed a “Stimulus” Bill. It was 973 pages long. This past Friday, the House passed a “Climate Change” Bill. It was more than 1200 pages long. This got me wondering: how long, exactly, is our Constitution? How many pages did it take our country’s founders to lay out the structure and functions of our Federal Government? Including the preamble, all signatures and all 27 amendments, it’s 20 pages. Without the signatures and amendments, it’s 11 pages.
• Have to keep it short today, got a busy agenda.

The Texas Supreme Court made clear what should have been already obvious...the county owes its debt. After paying a lawfirm nearly $400,000 to fight it; if the county loses, they'll owe Ms. Comb's attorney fees as well, plus the debt (with interest). As a taxpayer, it is sad that a million dollars of county funds will have been wasted simply to pursue an elected official's personal vendetta!
What was the original amount owed to Mrs. Combs,what is her leagal fees and will she also have to be paid interest. Why in the world would the Judge and Commissioners not pay Mrs. Combs when she presented the bill? Does the County have more money than the elected officials have sense?
