Don't Expect A Lot to Get Done at Commissioner's Court
The Gandara arrest is going to have an obvious impact on Commissioner's Court. He was already under scrutiny for his attendance record at meetings, which is probably why his assistant and best friend Dora Oaxaca has spent so much time filling in for him in his official capacity, even recently presenting an award to a comedian, which is just one of many opportunities she's had to be in the spotlight that she otherwise wouldn't have had.
But Commissioner Haggerty is ill. He will be missing a lot of meetings. Gandara missed something like half of the votes on Commissioner's Court BEFORE he was indicted. He's likely to miss much more if he stays on as Commissioner. (There is the outside possibility that he would resign, but I doubt it. His Dad had to be removed via recall after his indictment).
There are 5 members of Commissioner's Court. You need 3 for a quorum. County Judge Veronica Escobar, County Commissioner Anna Perez, and County Commissioner Sergio Lewis are going to have to have perfect attendance for County business to get done.
It also means they should control their fluid intake. Otherwise they are going to have to take a recess every time one of them as to take a pee...
