I HIRED HIM AS A YOUNG SPROUT RIGHT OUT OF TEXAS TECH, AND WE WORKED TOGETHER FOR FOR SEVERAL YEARS AS A JUVENILE DIRECTOR OVER MY COUNTY, AND HE MOVED TO WORK AT THE STATE FOR LONG ENOUGH, WHERE HE RETIRED FROM THE STATE, WHICH MEANS HE'S GETTING OLD, BUT I THINK I'M STAYING THE SAME.

[00:05:02]

SO HE COMES WITH A LOT OF EXPERIENCE AND A LOT OF CAPABILITY.

MORE GETTING TO KNOW HER. AND I'M VERY PLEASED TO HAVE NOT BEEN TO WORK WITH HER.

SHE'S GOT A LOT OF YEARS EXPERIENCE RETIRED FROM THE SYSTEM.

AND WE'LL GO AHEAD AND SAY IT IS OUT OF CALIFORNIA.

SO NO WATCH PARTY FOR ME. I'LL BE IN WEATHERFORD CHASING THAT BALL.

BUT WHAT ARE TAXES? MY EDUCATIONAL SEMINAR IS NEXT TUESDAY AT 6 P.M., FIRST STATE BANK, WHITESBORO.

I'M STILL BAFFLED EVERY SINGLE DAY ON THE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF HOW TAXES ACTUALLY WORK.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SALES TAX, A PROPERTY TAX.

SO MAY HAVE READ SOMETHING RIGHT BEFORE WE WALKED IN TODAY.

SO I'M A LITTLE MY SOAPBOX, A LACK OF EDUCATION.

SO THAT'S ALL I WANT TO DO IS EDUCATE THOSE THAT WE WORK WITH AND NEXT TO.

SO THAT WAY WE CAN HAVE BETTER CONVERSATIONS. ALL RIGHT.

COMMISSIONER WE'RE DEFINITELY BLESSED WITH THE LEADERSHIP WE HAVE IN OUR PROBATION DEPARTMENTS.

I KNOW BOTH OF THOSE MEN WELL, AND IT WOULD I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU'D FIND A BETTER PAIR RUNNING ADULT AND JUVENILE ANYWHERE COUNTY THIS SIZE.
