I guess Williamson County has seen a lot of small business growth.

Any folks from Round Rock have anything to say about him?

Georgetown. Been in Gtown over 21 years. Many summons when Gravel was a precinct judge but only had to sit on one jury. He does love to grandstand to an eye rolling level.

That said, Wilco Sherriff's office and local PD's here (Gtown, Hutto, Taylor, Leander, and the tiny cities) were well known for being over aggressive if not corrupted and the courts threw the book for the most minor offenses. That has changed dramatically in the last 20 years and I think Gravell was a genuine change agent for cleaning up the county in that regard.

My biggest gripe about Bill at the county judge level is that Wilco and in particular Gtown, have allowed way too much growth too quickly without adequately addressing a number of issues primarily traffic and water. Georgetown has rapidly lost its identity and is essentially central Texas Plano at this point.

He could not have handled Covid any worse and flat out lied about the numbers. He went as far as to publish that the infection numbers would surpass the total number of Wilco residents by 50%.

Bought multiple refer trucks at the county's expense to store dead bodies in from Covid that were never used.

Dude is a snake and I wouldn't trust him to mow my yard.

Dude is a flat out POS. Bad Trump

I moved into house in a little neighborhood by the Chuch of Christ of Christ back in2005. Highway 29 was a 2 lane road at that time - it is hard to believe how much that area has exploded. I moved out of Georgetown in 2013 - it was the picture perfect place to grow up. I can hardly recognize the place now.
