We're back from the National Association of Counties annual conference in Philadelphia, where we successfully passed several key resolutions including a non-discrimination resolution I helped spearhead.

• Reports of unnecessary euthanasia at Bell County Animal Shelter have caused public outcry
• Proposing Bell County become a no-kill shelter with 90% live placement rate
• Workshop scheduled for July 28th to discuss animal shelter reforms
• Commissioner Woodson made controversial comments about JP courts in Precinct 4
• Judge Coleman requested additional clerk to handle heavy caseload in Precinct 2 JP Court
• Police departments choosing to take cases to Precinct 2 instead of their local JP courts
• Workload disparities exist between JP precincts with uneven population distribution
• First day of special legislative session tomorrow addressing flood mitigation, redistricting, and property taxes
• New tentative redistricting map shows Bell County unified in one congressional district
