I am surprised too. The people there are very conservative. I stay there for dog shows all the time.

Actually there are far too many RINO’s in the area. For instance, a MAJOR issue was passed by rino AARP’ers a couple of years ago. Willimason county has a sun city and also a large amount of senior citizens. They gathered support from an incoming RINO female commissioner and turned out in full force to freeze their property taxes for the county!! Now, I agree with the state school tax freeze but the county provides EMS services here and other expensive services geared largely to senior citizens. So, the kids are paying for these services for their parents and heavy school taxes. Instead of forcing the county to cut their spending habits, they just shielded their pockets while the rest of us were at work.

RINO does not equal conservative!

Williamson County, like Fort Bend County, has had a large influx of liberals and RINOs in the past decade or so. It's not nearly as conservative as people think. Just look at Georgetown having to compromise on the illegal immigration/contract dispute.

I have the luxury of living in Travis County, where I know who the liberals are. Williamson County, things get murky.
