Someone should find out who the McClennan County Commissioners & sheriff were in 2014.

Irwin County—population ~9,000—is *full* of the Paulk family.
It’s interesting that 1 of the 4 county commissioners is named Chris Paulk.
The county commissioners that decide to contract w LaSalle.
David Paulk. Chris Paulk.
