Fort Bend County Judge KP George is looking to hear from local bar owners as Gov. Greg Abbott recently gave local officials the power to decide whether bars should be reopened, according to an Oct. 10 press release.

"I know our residents make smart decisions, and I rely on their valuable input in the decision making process," George said. "I have always said my decisions will be based on the science, data, expert opinions, and community input."

He added legislators and local officials should work together to make strategic and community-supported decisions without compromising the well-being of residents.

"While consulting with the respective medical authorities and reviewing the data, I am issuing a survey for bar owners to fill out, so I can ensure your voices are heard during this major process," George said.
