Hiring a partisan group is not out of the question.

While the county judge was not involved in these steps, his office was, Meyers said, including on the rating committee that ranked the proposals and in the negotiations process.
Meyers said there are also two more external audits underway on much larger contracts that he had concerns about. He doesn’t necessarily place the blame at George’s feet. “He’s well meaning, I think, in general,” Meyers said, “He just is a little over his head.” But he did say the contract negotiation details left a bad taste.
For its part, the Fort Bend District Attorney’s Office would not confirm or deny an investigation to us. But a source familiar with an office inquiry who is not authorized to speak about it indicated that nothing in the allegations suggests illegality and that claims of wrongdoing appear to be “politically motivated.”
