WPA endorses Ed Petrich for County Commissioner, Precinct 4
 The Waco Police Association's Political Action Committee is supporting Ed Petrich for McLennan County Commissioner, Precinct 4. The announcement was made at a news conference Sept. 22nd.
Petrich, 49, is a manager at New York Clothiers in Waco. He will run as a Republican facing incumbent Ray Meadows in the Republican Primary in March 2010.
Petrich said he began following the Commissioners Court in 2006 after Meadows and three other commissioners voted to raise their salaries 11.8 percent. He said he also disagreed with his opponent's opposition to a bill considered by state lawmakers this past session that would have capped home appraisal value increases at 5 percent each year.
"I dont think most of the people in the county have forgotten the pay raise issue and most can't see why goverment can't cut back during hard economic times instead of speaking against bills that would
help lower our taxes," Petrich said.
Petrich said the court should be doing more to look out for the interests of rural residents of the county.
