Editorial by Barry Burton

As we prepare to celebrate Independence Day and reflect on the blessings we have in this country, the state of Texas and Orange County I felt it was an appropriate time to announce that I will be seeking reelection as Orange County Pct. 2 Commissioner.

It has been an honor and privilege to serve the citizens of Orange County and my precinct for the last two and a half years.  We have made great strides in organizing and structuring our county budget and operations to be sustainable and cost effective in the long term.  We have made some hard decisions but the root and motivation of each of those decisions is focused on taking care of YOUR tax dollars and working with resources already available at the county..

There is still work to be done and I ask that you let me continue to represent you with the same energy and passion for another term.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns, 409-745-2223.  Thank you and have a safe and Happy Independence Day!
