We’re talking about the First Annual National Brian Sowers Legacy CRAPPIE Tournament and Scholarship Dinner happening October 4th and 5th in East Texas. The voice of Crappie fishing, Brian Sowers, was known by many anglers as he participated and ran tournaments throughout the US. He loved sharing his favorite fishing passion with the younger generation and was famous for saying “give a kid a tackle box, not an X-box” and saying to parents, “get outside and make memories”!
County Government in Texas is a unique system that disaggregates power among local elected officials that have no direct authority over one another. In short, it is a huge exercise in getting along with others. The County Clerk, District Clerk, County Treasurer, all four County Commissioners, Justices of the Peace, Constables, District Attorney, County Court At Law Judge, District Judge, and Sheriff are all elected officials. The one county official that is not elected is the County Auditor, who is appointed by the District Judge. This ensures checks and balances in county government. This process was laid out in our Texas Constitution. Our unifying vision is for Cass County to be the example rural Texas county for innovation, transparency, and accessibility. As we complete the budget this year and look forward to the next fiscal year beginning in October, it’s nice to look back at some of the things we’ve accomplished over the last two years.
