In a recent meeting of the Lavaca County Commissioners Court, community engagement and public service were at the forefront of discussions. One of the highlights was the impressive turnout for early voting, with 4,521 registered voters participating, representing 30% of the county's electorate. This turnout is seen as a positive sign of civic engagement, with officials expressing hopes to set a record for voter participation in the upcoming election.

The meeting also marked a moment of recognition for Donald Groff, who retired after 40 years of dedicated service as a road hand for Precinct 4. Although Groff was unable to attend the meeting, the commissioners acknowledged his significant contributions to the county, emphasizing the impact of his long-standing commitment to public service. A motion was made and seconded to formally recognize Groff's retirement, highlighting the community's appreciation for his work.

In addition to these key topics, the meeting briefly touched on the voting numbers from the weekend, noting that 591 voters cast their ballots on Saturday and 347 on Sunday. This weekend voting was noted as a positive development, contributing to the overall enthusiasm for the election.

As Lavaca County moves forward, the focus on increasing voter turnout and honoring public service reflects a commitment to community engagement and recognition of those who have dedicated their careers to serving the residents.
