NOW, THEREFORE, I hereby rescind and cancel the Declaration of Local Disaster for Public Health Emergency for Collin County.
Proclaimed this 26th day of February 2021.
Chris Hill Collin County Judge
WHAT is he waiting for??? DO IT NOW!!!
Not sure what you mean... This is effective as of today.
Doing it today is not soon enough?
“Judge Christopher Hill, Tear Off These Masks!!”
“WHEREAS, constitutionally protected rights do not cease to exist in the midst of a crisis, and executive orders are (and must always be) subordinate to the provisions of the Constitution;”
Bet they will try and remove him from the Bench for that.
Whereas Donald J. Trump is no longer President...
Good, although I now expect my local NextDoor to be inundated with mass condemnation of this action. Some of my neighbors seemed to enjoy the restrictions.
I saw the March dates - from LAST YEAR! Sorry. Very stressful day working...
So, this should then give ABBOTT incentive to DO IT NOW too!
Unfortunately, I am in Harris County. We are going to need the governor or courts to step in with our county judge. Otherwise, I’m going to have to speed up my plan to move into Montgomery County.
Judge Hill isn’t on the bench. County judges in Texas head up the governing body of the county. In Georgia it would be the Chairman of the County Commission, in Louisiana more than half the Parishes call the office ‘President of the Police Jury’.
