Questions emerge after KPRC 2 Investigates examines missed Commissioners Court meetings by Judge Lina Hidalgo Here's how to get fabulous items to make life around the house easier, more organized and tidy — all while saving big.Grab this powerful refurbished MacBook Pro while it’s 77% offThe county has a website with a link that lists “Commissioners Court Agenda, Minutes and Videos.” This is a standard for any municipality.
On Friday, Judge Hidalgo’s team told us two meetings were missed because of an “emergency fire” and because of her “honeymoon.” In that same conversation we requested a formal interview to discuss what the county’s own website shows regarding her attendance. Hidalgo never accommodated our request.On Monday, we followed up and emailed Hidalgo’s team our stats and what we examined.
They highlighted concerns with the county system, stating it needs improvement to more accurately reflect meetings involving county commissioners. Hidalgo’s team argued the figure showing she missed 36% of Commissioners Court meetings misrepresents her attendance.“My administration designed Business Courts to be quick, less-than-five-minute meetings with only three members present as a solution to keep routine county business moving in between regular meetings of the Commissioners Court.
“Whether you miss two or 36% of the total, it’s important to be at all the meetings,” Ramsey went on to add.“These numbers are misleading and fail to capture Judge Hidalgo’s incredible work ethic and commitment to the people of Harris County. In addition to serving as County Judge, as the county’s Director of Emergency Management, she has capably steered us through multiple crises over the past year.
