"Morrison said he was told by members of County Attorney Roy Cordes Jr.'s office that the meetings are conducted in such a way that they don't violate the Open Meeting Act, but Morrison said he is seeking guidance that he can share with his staff so that they understand what to do and not do during the meetings to avoid violating the law." (2.) "However, Morrison said he worries that after some controversial decision by the Commissioners Court- such as changing the tax rate - some person or business with significant money at stake could institute legal action and elicit testimony from staff members who attend the Thursday staff sessions, which might suggest to a court that the Open Meetings Act had been breeched. Under such circumstances, action taken in a subsequent open Commissioners Court session conceivably could be voided." First of all, I wish to make my stance perfectly clear on the onset: my observational interpretation, thus is my entitlement to analyze. Should anyone wish to initiate a stance to either concu or contradict the appropriate statements I have set forth -- I ask of you to do so in a civil manner, without the stance to demeaning character if you please. We all deserve due respect accordingly. My appreciation to your kindness is welcomed. Secondly, as to my bullet point #1, highlights are stated simultaneously to highlight the Fort Bend County Attorney Roy Cordes Jr's position, as well as, the newly elected Fort Bend County Precinct 1 Commissioner Richard Morrison's position. Thirdly, as to my bullet point #2, highlights are stated to highlight two conversely controversial positions. One of course more pro-actively leaning toward an immediate "rush to judgment" to question future legal entanglements. In intellectually rationalizing the facts as I stated before you, are now on the table for further scrutiny, if anyone wishes to run with it? I am more than happy to oblige-- kindly thank you.
