In the next week or two, Brazos County commissioners will discuss the idea to create a county department of government efficiency. New commissioner Fred Brown suggested the county “DOGE” at the end of Tuesday’s meeting (March 11). County judge Duane Peters told Brown that he was not opposed to discussing the idea. Brown suggested each commissioner appoint two people to look where Brazos County government could become more efficient.

A fundraising effort is underway to assist a Bryan police detective whose wife is hospitalized and whose younger son was killed in a head on crash.
