Almost 3 years and the county hasn’t figured out how to pay?
They received some help from the state:
State grants
Other costs have been offset by a state grant from the governor’s office designed to reimburse counties for expenses related to major offenses. So far, the state has awarded the county $268,527 for Twin Peaks related expenditures. The largest part of that was $190,010 that went to cover housing at the Jack Harwell Detention Center for some of the 177 bikers arrested on the day of the shootout, which left nine dead and dozens injured.
Also, the county was reimbursed $24,500 for costs of the nine autopsies and transportation of the bodies.
The city of Waco received a $248,941 grant from the Justice Department, which primarily went to cover overtime costs for officers involved at Twin Peaks.

So, the TP "matter" was just a way to siphon off taxes for the benefit of the local cops?
Whacko is going to have to install red light and speed cameras on through streets used by out of towners in addition to adding a “temporary” surcharge on property taxes... in the end all this will be the “new norm” and the cops and attorneys will make out for decades..
It sure looks like they took advantage of it.
And with those monstrous Evidence Dumps and a witness list of 600, the defendant's lawyers and investigators are needing to spend so much time preparing for their cases. And the public defenders are charging all their time to the county.
Still in before the fascists’ shifts ended.
I’m still curious about the timeline of the Feds’ involvement with this Shootout.
Where were the BATFE, FBI, et.al.? Any Fed. undercover agents, CIs?
Matt Johnson, the judge is a former law partner of District Attorney Abel Reyna.
Grounds for Appeal.
Should be grounds for recusal.
I agree. But Gotro's Motion for Johnson's recusal was refused.
Not sure we’re ever going to find that out. All we know is they appeared to be locked and loaded and waiting.
Finally...lets get this show started.
Especially the civil suits against Rayna and McClennin County.
Without knowing what this was about, the reaction would be “so this is news?”
“Almost 3 years and the county hasn’t figured out how to pay?”
LOL! So far the county has received almost $600,000 in grants from the state and feds.
“So, the TP “matter” was just a way to siphon off taxes for the benefit of the local cops? “
Twin peaks was about one group of gangsters (Bandidos) siphoning off money from other clubs in order for those other clubs to show their colors on the highway ...
