Judge Finds Commissioners Violated Law Questioning Constable Applicant

"A federal judge ruled this week that three Williamson County commissioners violated a man’s constitutional rights when he was asked illegal questions during interviews for a constable’s position.

Commissioners Lisa Birkman, Cynthia Long and Valerie Covey violated Robert Lloyd’s 14th Amendment right to equal protection when he was asked questions about his opinions on abortion and gay marriage during interviews in March 2013, according to the ruling." Austin Statesman

Williamson County spent approximately $500,000 of taxpayer money defending the commissioners over the last three years. What a waste of money!
