Kaufman County is broke and the pols are scrambling to find a solution to balance the budget. The County Commissioners are channeling 80’s Madonna, and adding two weeks of new “Holidays” for 2010, in which the courthouse will be closed.

Advice to future Kaufman criminal/family clients.

Don’t plan on getting arrested the week before Christmas. The court’s closed so you’re screwed if you can’t make bail. Hit that bong in Dallas, and get a designated driver back from the company Christmas party. Santa doesn’t visit the Kaufman jail.

The Kaufman County Bar will have it’s next meeting on 9/15 in the law library. Chris Souza will present one CLE hour worth of criminal appellate updates. We also have some bar business to discuss. Here are the agenda items-

1. Xmas party. Tracy Booker and Houston Smith are on the committee, we can always use more volunteers.

2. Philanthropy- The last two years have been mostly about getting the bar back to basics with monthly CLE meetings. It’s time to take off the training wheels and discuss a project to give back to the community.

The next Kaufman County Bar meeting is nigh upon us. I’ll be speaking on Open Records Advocacy and we will discuss setting up a faster courthouse wifi network, inter alia.

My 1 hour Open Records seminar is CLE certiified, so if you’re short on hours, or just want to learn how to get the government’s secrets, come on down to K-Town.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank outgoing Kaufman County Bar President Keena Greyling for her service as Commander in Chief. Three years ago our local bar was a cluster of epic proportions.

Now, thanks to the hard work of our past two presidents we’ve got a thriving local bar association. Keena has been an outstanding Chief Executive and her dedication and hard work will be missed.

President’s Greyling’s resignation has left the current VP, me, as the new P. This is a historical moment as I’m pretty sure this is the highest office a Libertarian has ever held in Kaufman County. (Ok, these are non partisan elections, but still, we Libertarians need all the victories we can get).

True that. The Kaufman county DA’s office is a great place to work. Nice people, good judges, manageable caseloads and you get to work out cases with me. What more could you want? The only downside is the lunch options are pretty limited and it’s far from Dallas.

Glorious news!! All real crime in Kaufman County has been solved. Local law enforcement is so bored that they now have time to arrest people for meaningless victimless make believe crimes like “promoting an event without a permit.” That is the only conclusion I can rationally infer from the Warrior Dash controversy brewing in Kaufman County.

What is Warrior Dash?

Adults dress up like Vikings, race 4 miles through mud and obstacles, and at the end they get a free beer and a viking helmet. Of course anything involving adults having fun and drinking beer is going to draw the ire of joykilling freedom hating nanny staters. From DMN
