The calendar

Every public meeting where this county's decisions get made — computed live, sourced like everything else here. These rooms are open to you, and most of them are nearly empty. Showing up counts double when almost nobody does.
⏳ Budget season: between now and December, the quorum court writes next year's county budget. Anything you want changed in the numbers gets said in these meetings — or waits a year.

Next 10 weeks — computed fresh on every visit
