Key takeaway The details of the dispute and the proposed tax rate are available from local news sources, including Click2Houston KPRC2.
A meeting of the Fort Bend County Commissioners Court took place with a proposed property tax rate on the agenda. However, the meeting was not attended by Democratic Commissioners Dexter McCoy and Grady Prestage, who have been absent since June.
Their absence is related to a dispute over County Judge Daniel Wong's authority to serve. Wong was appointed earlier this year after the former county judge was suspended due to a felony conviction.
