Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo has been out of action since taking a leave of absence last month to address her mental health. Even though Precinct One Commissioners Rodney Ellis says Hidalgo is "looking forward" to coming back, there has been no date set for her return. In fact, there's been no talk about when she will come back to work. Republican strategist Vald Davidiuk says this is concerning.
"It's deeply troubling. She's not only out of office. She is AWOL," Davidiuk said.
There have been rumors that Hidalgo was going to step down. But as of now she hasn't made that move. But what if she does?
"Somebody would be appointed to that position on an interim basis," Davidiuk stated.
There will be a Special Meeting of Commissioners Court at 10 o'clock this morning.
