'Wasted dollars' on county administration role

"County Administrator." It is an unelected post created by the Democratic majority in 2021 to do a job previously performed by members of the Commissioners Court. Since then, Harris County Precinct Three Commissioner Tom Ramsey says the office has cascaded to 73 employees at an average cost of more than a quarter million dollars per position - with the administrator collecting a salary of $418,000 per year. Total annual cost of this previously unnecessary layer of government - nearly $24,700,000 tax dollars per year.
