Commissioners Court takes summer vacation
Tuesday, June 5, 2018 by Caleb Pritchard
The Travis County Commissioners Court, usually a reliable workhorse of a public body, is taking the next couple of weeks off. With County Judge Sarah Eckhardt out of town for some personal R&R, Commissioner Margaret Gómez will preside over a super-short meeting on Tuesday that features a mere 10 action items. That’s more action than we’ll see next Tuesday, when the court won’t bother to meet at all. In the meantime, have a heart for your favorite freelance journalists, who will still have deadlines to meet and content to create. Got story ideas? Let us know!
