There's a growing outcry for resolution to the problem of the vacancy in County Commissioners Court. Once occupied by Commissioner Rudy Heredia, it now sits vacant following his recent arrest. His court date has not been set in federal court and there is no indication that he will be released any time soon or allowed on bond prior to his trial.
Some feel that the County needs to make some forward movement towards remedying this vacancy situation. Some are hoping that somebody takes the initiative to determine how this can legally be done. Some others are annoyed by the fact that none of the County commissioners have stepped forward or have shown the initiative to deal with this situation. Quietly some hope that is placed on the agenda and seriously considered.
