Man do you know how hated you have to be to swing an election in an entirely different country?

Insane shit

Y’all, I swear, the Washington County Quorum Court is the most petty gathering of people I have ever been a part of.

Passed a resolution declaring Washington County as an inclusive welcoming county
And changing the new zoning ordinance to keep the power with the Quorum Court, not the Judge.

Last night’s Quorum court was full of
The Judge strutting about like a peacock
Lisa Ecke referring to herself as a minority
Attempts to justify the term β€œidentity politics β€œ
And
Two unusual bipartisan agreements

Always proud and inspired by my JP colleague, Beth Coger.

Arkansas State Police: please stay off the roads.

Washington County Judge: the courthouse is closed because of weather, but get in here for the meeting tonight to deal with these 3 agenda items.

My favorite part of Quorum Court tonight was watching the County Judge throw a self righteous hissy fit over JPs getting a raise. We are the third largest county but pay JPs at 3rd from the bottom, and he was big mad.

This is how County Attorney Brian Lester responds to an elected Justice of the Peace when she asks a completely reasonable question about why public comment was absent before votes at our last meeting.

It’s only been four days and it’s already overwhelming to open any social media.
It’s too much too fast.

Usually, I leave Quorum court With a broken heat. Tonight, I left with a full heart.
I made a motion to fund the Washington County HIV clinic that was being cut by the county Judge.
It passed unanimously. πŸ’•
