Harris County law enforcement officers crowd commissioners court, boo Lina Hidalgo over budget battle
Posted For: firemedic5100 FJB!
Law enforcement officers from the Harris County Constable’s Office jammed into the Harris County Commissioners Court meeting and booed Judge Lina Hidalgo after she ended Tuesday afternoon’s session early, the Houston Chronicle’s Jen Rice reported.
The drama stems from an ongoing dispute over the Democratically-controlled Commissioners Court’s proposed annual budget, which has sparked opposition and a string of no-shows from the body’s conservative members. Photos tweeted by Rice show that inside the meeting itself, uniformed officers from the Harris County Constable’s Office packed the court.
