- As a director of the Conference of Urban Counties, Commissioner Meyers helped found TechShare, a cooperative purchasing effort by counties, to jointly acquire software saving Texas taxpayers over $80 million through 2015.
Mobility

He proposed recreation of the Mobility Committee in December 2003 which led to the county's second Mobility Bond Referendum approval in 2007. Commissioner Meyers was also instrumental in getting the 2013 Mobility Bond passed, which has eased congestion throughout Fort Bend County.

It has been my distinct honor to serve the residents of Fort Bend County as a County Commissioner since January 1, 1997. I’m committed to ensuring that taxpayers’ money is spent as prudently and as efficiently as possible. Fort Bend County provides a great bargain for its residents. For an average of about $50 per month per home the county funds the entire Justice System, including all of the Courts, the District Attorney’s Office, Constables, Sheriff, and Jail. The county also funds a county-wide Road System, Library System, Drainage District, and Emergency Medical Services. I led the effort to reduce the county tax rate from the region’s highest of 66¢ to the region’s lowest of 44¢, saving county taxpayers over $1 billion. Some personal information about me:
