........County Commissioner candidate Walker remarks to opponent Graff “Man, we are on so different pages”

Walker said (around the 12 min mark) he would not lower his salary because the other commissioners wouldn't like that.

At 15 min, Walker said he "wants a high tax appraisal on his property"?!?! (resluting in higher taxes), equating it as the same as a high market value when one sells their home.

At the 19 min mark, Walker was asked if raises should be given by dept heads on their way to retirement. He had no clue how raises were approved because he hasn't been to Commissioners Court to see how that happens at practically every other meeting.

At 16 min, Walker said there's no issues w/Neptism in the county (that he's aware of)!!! (Metts girfriend works for him; former constable David Hill made arrangements for Charlie Riley's wife Deane Riley to Xfer closer to home when it because clear the new Sheriff wasn't going to keep her. Pct. 4 Rowdy Hayden has several family members on the county payroll).

In lightning round(42 min mark), moderator asked if they would employ Zero-based budgeting. Graff said yes, Walker said "yes but hard to do", perhaps giving a reason why he (Walker) won't do it if elected.
