The Commissioners Court approved their legislative request letter that included many subjects including mental health, transportation funding, municipal untility districts, over weight trucking permits, ESD board appointments, appropriations to Texas recreation and park fund, and the low income repair assistance program. A subcommittee of the Williamson County Mental Health Task Force (including Commisssioners Birkman and Covey) has been meeting to gather substantiating data and more specific details for the mental health legislative requests. A lengthy detailed Legislative Priorities list from the subcommittee's findings was prepared by Andrea Richardson of Bluebonnet Trails for the legislative staffers use. A short two-page summary sheet was prepared from the detailed priorities list for the legislators and for written testimony during legislative hearings. |
