State of the County
- Ray Berend
- Padgett, Stratemann & Co., LLP
About the Company:
About the Program: The State of the County Address was designed to provide members "the Bexar facts" regarding County priorities directly from the County Judge and Commissioners. During the inaugural program two U.S. Congressmen, Charlie Gonzalez and Lamar Smith, joined Judge Nelson Wolff for discussion in lieu of the Commissions, and so a revised program format may be seen in 2007. One element that will be preserved is the provision of 100 complimentary seats to North Chamber small business members — originally sponsored by Realco.
Personally Speaking:
