Especially the County Judge position. What, people, are you going to leave him in that position forever or until he gets tired of it? I think he is vulnerable - Everyone knows he has never met a business of tax abatement he didn't like. From all reports, the Commissioners Court is obviously inept and could care less what the people who pay their salaries care.......Come on, just do it, you just might get elected. The incumbents must go, regardless of the political party they claim to represent. Party affiliations make little difference in county politics. You just have to find an honest person more concerned with preserving Bastrop and less concerned about payoffs. Have all of you forgot the airport scam? If they run unopposed, you are sanctioning their actions and they WILL run all over you and this county.
