LIBERTY, TX - County commissioners to state: Hands off
"We are looking and retaining counsel to defend against the state takeover of Liberty County government. I cannot believe I'm saying those words,” said County Attorney Matthew Poston.
A letter from a Republican-led coalition to Gov. Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and Speaker of the House Dave Phelan said officials in Liberty County can no longer control a rising tide of problems associated with the sprawling collection of homes and shops, which is subject to little regulation because it is unincorporated.
Critics on social media have claimed the controversy over Colony Ridge is fueled by trumped-up fears of immigration and racist attitudes by conservatives.
Commissioners met Tuesday morning and authorized Poston’s office to search for legal representation if any takeover efforts by the Legislature come to fruition.
Poston argued those pushing conservatorship are acting in bad faith, adding the state’s proposal is a warning to every Texas county.
“This is an attack against Liberty County directly, but it's also a warning for every other county government out there and other leaders in other county governments better pay attention to what's happening to Liberty County right now,” Poston said.
