Monday morning County Judge Craig McNair and all four of our county’s commissioners met to choose a replacement for retiring Liberty County’s retired tax collector Mark McClelland. The result was the appointment of Ricky Brown of Dayton.
Congratulations to Mr. Brown! Conservative Republicans have stood on the sideline for decades and watched the good ole boy system replace, appoint, and elect Democrats and people who have been unwilling to help change the county. Your appointment is encouraging to all of us who want professional business people to go into the courthouse and with fresh eyes look to improve the way business is conducted in our county.
Friendly service from the tax collector’s office is important and a sense that everyone is being dealt with in a fair and equal manner is imperative. The tax collector’s office deals with a variety of citizens, but inevitably some are under a great deal of stress when they come down to pay taxes. That office has some really good people in it and helping them create a friendly warm work environment with a professional approach tempered with a compassionate tone is what most taxpayers expect. Ricky Brown will be good at all of this.
The majority of negative comments about this department sent to Liberty Dispatch have involved the duplication of voter registration cards and suspicions about past large payments made to John Archer and other financial arrangements Mark McClelland made to deal with delinquent taxes. Someone new and sharp like Ricky Brown gives Liberty County an opportunity to clean up the past and to build a better future.

RINO Dennis Odell didnt get appointed to the job. LMFAO
Dennis Odell will never be elected to anything in Liberty County his is a $urd.
Ricky Brown is honest and fair. He has excellent supervisory skills. He has no connections to the courthouse and an excellent background in business and finance.
Another great choice by LD and a glimpse of hope that this commissioners court will make good decisions even before Fontenot and Hunt are finally rejected by the voters in 2012 for all of the spending and creepy self serving decisions they have made while in office.
McClelland may or may not be doing some things behind closed doors that are shady, but he has had some of the bitchiest old sour pusses working in that office on the face of the earth.
I agree with the comment about the old ladies working in the tax collector office. They are rude and grouchy and have no inkling that they are working for us. I understand two of themare retiring. Well I am double happy then. I have been around Ricky for years and he will do great and he will not put up with employees that do not treat people right or get along with others.
Dennis needs to get away from politics and use his knowledge of insurance to make a living. Politics is not his calling.It is not most people's calling.
Did the Commissioner's post that they were having a meeting? They're not allowed to meet without a notification filed a certain number of hours ahead of time...just saying...
Maybe Mr. Brown can distribute harmone patches or some Zoloft to some of those crabby women that need to retire!
Maybe Brown can start getting the tax money Liberty needs from McClellands' money friends.
Great choice Judge McNair. I guess yall show old Todd and Melvin that they are not running the show anymore. (HAWK)
Maybe Brown will make those in that office act nicer to the public, that would be an improvement. Now if someone could run off those that work in the drivers license office and replace them with humans, what a glorious day that would be.
