Patsy Lassiter Announces for County Treasurer--2010
During my time as County Treasurer I have served on the County Treasurer’s Association (CTAT) Education Committee for 5 years. The education committee is responsible for program format and content of seminars required by State law to maintain continuing education credits for County Treasurers. CTAT also provides legislative updates and is a general support system for County Treasurer’s across the State of Texas.
In 2003 I earned a County Investment Officer Certification in compliance with Section 2256.008 of the Texas Public Funds Investment Act which qualifies me to oversee the investment of public funds. A County Official who is certified under standards adopted by the Texas Association of Counties demonstrates to the public a commitment to ensure the safety of County funds and earn the maximum interest allowed through prudent and legal investing of the County funds.
I have maintained the 20 hours of Treasurer’s continuing education and 10 hours of Public Funds Investments Act and 20 hours of County Investment Officer training that is required per year.
I feel that I have accomplished a great deal in the 7 years that I have been in office.
I have worked with the Commissioner’s Court to get the best Health Plan for employees and to keep costs as low as possible for the County.
Direct deposit has been implemented to better serve the employee’s and reduce the County’s costs.
The Treasurer’s office worked with Commissioner’s Court to revise our Policy and Procedure Manual, which was approved by Commissioner’s Court September 2009.
It has been very fulfilling to serve the citizens of Cherokee County as its Treasurer and I look forward to the next 4 years.

First Republican Challenger to Hopson says he'll announce next week
Sunday, November 8, 2009
PRESS RELEASE from JOANNA REAGAN
Below is a statement from Texas Democratic Women President-Elect Joanna Reagan of Cherokee County, TX regarding the need for Rep. Chuck Hopson to return campaign funds he’s raised as a Democrat from Democrats and questioning his word to his rural constituents:
“As an official of the Texas Democratic Women and Cherokee County neighbor, I call on Chuck Hopson to return every dollar he has raised from his former fellow Democrats, who believed and trusted in him.
“It’s bad enough that Chuck Hopson gave us his word he wouldn’t switch parties, but it’s even worse that just two weeks ago he took our money at a fundraiser and didn’t bat an eye.
“If he won’t keep his word to us, what about the children in our schools, our senior citizens, our private property rights, the Neches River, the East Texas Railroad – all causes and values he has also claimed in the past. Will he be as quick to throw those over and if he claims no, can we believe him?”
We deserve an elected official we can trust – and no matter what party Chuck Hopson belongs to, it’s clear his word isn’t worth a dime.”
Chuck Hopson Jumps to Republican Party
"Local dentist and former Jacksonville school board member says he will decide on possible GOP primary challenge next week."

Both of these events will give you an insight into how it works on Capitol Hill. See who asks what questions, who is interested in substance, and who likes to twist what is being said. You'll get a better view of the facts if you hear them first hand.
Stay out of the heat and keep up with what is going on.
