ANGLETON — Well-timed rainstorms didn’t bail out Brazoria County this go-around.
Sustained drought conditions prompted commissioners’ court to approve a countywide burn ban that goes into effect today and lasts up to the next 90 days. It applies only to unincorporated areas of Brazoria County.

Contact Tracing? Your Tax Dollars at work. Looks like it is time for some new Commissioners....looks like the current ones are starting to march in lockstep with Socialism!
