Commissioners meeting, election results

- Mesquites losing leaves -

The season seems to be changing in a more normal fashion this year. That may just be my perception, but the frost seems to have come at the right time and it has been cold enough to wear sweaters. If I still had my 1980's sweater collection, I would be decked out, in an out of style type of way.

The commissioners meeting last Tuesday was more interesting than Yellowstone. Not to denigrate the tv show, just showing how exciting the meeting was.

Fisher County Third Precinct Commissioner Preston Martin took the floor to relate a compelling and succinct chain of events leading up to and following his arrest and dismissal of charges for theft of material and payroll. It appears his indictment was folly, with no evidence or investigative resources being presented against him in court.

Elections resulted in Greg Abbott continuing to serve as Texas Governor for four more years. Locally, Zach Johnson won as Mayor of Rotan; Randy Cox, Loyd Greene, Joy Dennis, Frank Miranda and Gordon Scott Toliver won Rotan City Council seats; Michele Terry, Kevin Kelly, Stormy Rasberry and Dakota Rasberry won spots on the Roby School Board; Gerald P. Rodriguez, David Digby and Christy Garcia are school trustees for the Hermleigh Indendent School District. That's my take anyway, the unofficial results can be viewed on the Fisher County Election page.
