In a 4-1 vote Monday, the Parker County Commissioners Court approved a five-year contract with private jail management company CiviGenics.
...... Precinct 4 Commissioner Jim Webster cast the lone vote of opposition.
........ “My feeling on this is that privatization is not the answer for government problems, and I think we need to find that answer within ourselves,” he said. “I disagree with the conclusions that have been drawn up, but I feel like I will be outvoted, and that’s fine. Because that is what we are able to have in a democracy where one person can speak his piece.”
