Brazos County Takes Steps for Better Government Efficiency
In an exciting meeting held on March 11, 2025, Brazos County commissioners came together to discuss a potential game-changer for local governance. New commissioner Fred Brown introduced the idea of establishing a department dedicated to improving government efficiency. This proposed department, affectionately dubbed the “DOGE” committee, is designed to streamline operations and make county government work better for everyone.
County Judge Duane Peters has shown an open-minded attitude toward this innovative idea, indicating that the discussion around the DOGE committee is worthwhile. The committee is proposed to include two individuals nominated by each commissioner, all tasked with observing current practices and identifying areas in which they can boost efficiency and effectiveness.

Community members are encouraged to make donations at the Bryan Police Department’s front desk, with additional details about a wristband fundraiser being shared on the BPD’s Facebook page.
