Without at least one republican commissioner present, the county is forced to adopt the previous fiscal year's budget, which did not include extra money for law enforcement.Harris County's newly proposed budget could soon be thrown out, simply because two commissioners did not show up for the scheduled vote.
Republican commissioners Tom Ramsey and Jack Cagle skipped the meeting because the budget did not include extra money for law enforcement. Without at least one of them present, the county will be forced to adopt the budget from the previous fiscal year."No ideas," Garcia said. "No ideas. It's been all or nothing."In a statement to ABC13, Ramsey said in part, "I'm not against spending money. I'm for using it properly, not wasting it, not passing it out to 'friendly' consultants, and I will continue to represent you with those priorities for your family and mine.
Democrats😡
And republicans say dems want to defund law enforcement. Right🤷🏽♀️
It’s called cutting off your nose to spite your face. The self proclaimed “back the blue” just essentially cut funding.
Republicans HCPrecinct4 Jack Cagle and HarrisCoPct3 Tom Ramsey have literally defunded Harris County Sheriff and law enforcement out of $42 million with this stunt. It will take many years to make up this loss for the county.
It also didn’t include a lot of 🐂💩 expenditures the Democrats wanted either.
Republicans defunding the police.
