Debra Stacy Appointed County Elections Administrator, Effective June 16th
Can’t find a story online anywhere. The Williamson County site doesn’t have anything about this, and the Elections page still has Cliff Borofsky listed. I found the story as I glanced at the front page of the RRL — nothing on their site either, although I’m not a subscriber — in a convenience store today. Debra Stacy has been the acting administrator since Cliff Borofsky resigned. Don’t know anything about her; please feel free to comment on this post if you do.
As the article states, the Elections Commission is comprised of five people. Only one, Richard Torres, is a Democrat. The lack of publicity is a little odd, not to mention they seem to have done it on a Friday - I guess it was on a Friday since the article doesn’t say when exactly, it just says they did it. Usually when someone wants to bury a story, they’ll have it published on Friday or Saturday. Not that anything that was done here is bad, necessarily, but it just makes it look like they’re trying to keep this quiet. With all the negative pubilicity from the last election and the fact that the position sat unfilled for so long before that, it seems that this would be an great opportunity for the county to put out some good news. Just makes you go ‘hmmm….’…..
