Area officials at odds over voting legislation

   Fort Bend County Judge KP George cited the silence of Greater Houston Partnership (GHP) on what he called “voter suppression” bills “reminiscent of Jim Crow era tactics” — Texas House Bill 6 and Senate Bill 7 —  in the Texas Legislature as the reason the county will not become a dues-paying member of the organization.  The Texas House passed Senate Bill 7 last Friday, which would limit some voting expansions utilized during the COVID-19 pandemic such as drive-through voting.  “At a time in our country when we should all come together, these restrictive laws needlessly and unfairly make it more difficult for people to vote,” George wrote in a Facebook post last Thursday. “It’s simple: Cutting voting hours makes it harder to vote. Ending drive-through voting makes it harder to vote. Allowing partisan actors to film voters casting their ballot makes it harder to vote.”

George dissents from Commissioners Court on COVID-19 relief budget vote

  Despite outcries from Fort Bend County Judge KP George and calls to action from local nonprofit leaders, the Fort Bend County Commissioners Court voted 4-1 May 4 to approve the county’s allocation of more than $157 million in state and local COVID-19 relief funds apportioned from the federal American Rescue Plan Act (APRA). The funds are to be split between 2021 and 2022, according to the budget, which is a draft dated April 29 and was the most recent version of the document available per George’s communications director Tami Frazier.  George posted a statement on Facebook last Wednesday in response to the vote, calling it a “haphazardly constructed plan” and “without an iota of community involvement.”
