Financial Report: The financial report showing a cash balance of $1,257.52. was presented by Treasurer, Richard Layne and was approved as read.
Speakers:
Sally Craig spoke about the upcoming County Democratic Convention and encouraged members to attend. We will have a table at the Convention to advertise the Drive of the Polls Golf Tournament and need volunteers to help man the table.
Cindy Stormer, candidate for Tarrant County District Judge, 213th District Court, spoke about the mishandling and corruption within the County Judicial system, including conditions in the county jail, especially the number of inmate deaths. There are millions of dollars in lawsuits pending due to deaths that have occurred in jail. The jail is terribly overcrowded and understaffed. Judges don’t show up to court for scheduled cases, people are being jailed for Class C misdemeanors, which adds to the jail population. She said 430 people have been sent to private prisons. Approximately $55 million is being spent on for-profit prisons.
Please spread the word about how important it is to elect Cindy and other Democrats in our local judicial races. Two other crucial races that were also mentioned were.
1. Patrick Moses for Sheriff. Probably the best and strongest, most qualified Democrat we’ve ever had running for Sheriff. His election would make a world of difference in Tarrant County.
2. Marq Clayton, candidate for Judge, would be the only African American judge in the county.
