Emmett cites "mature judgment" (not cool nickname) of commissioner pick
After a couple of weeks’ deliberation, Harris County Judge Ed Emmett on Monday named civil court Judge R. Jack Cagle as the new Precinct 4 commissioner.

Cagle, 50, will be sworn in at the Tuesday meeting of Commissioners Court.
Known as “Cactus Jack,” Cagle has served on the bench of Harris County Court-at-Law No. 1 since being elected in a special election in 2000. He was elected to full terms in 2002 and 2006.
At a press conference at the Harris County Administration Building, Emmett, said that he was looking for a candidate with “mature judgment” who put policy matters over political the “chit-chat” that he said “drives me crazy.”
We mainly wanted to blog this because we just don't get the opportunity to post many Cactus Jack references!
But here's a question for readers (especially our more active Republican types): What do you think about this appointment?
