County tables ‘Charlie Kirk Corridor’

Packed courtroom delivers passionate testimony

BASTROP — Commissioners last week heard a full spectrum of Bastrop County voices in heated debate and ultimately tabled a decision to rename a stretch of highway the “Charlie Kirk Corridor.”

The resolution, brought forward Feb. 23 by Precinct 4 Commissioner David Glass, would have called upon local representatives to sponsor legislation to rename a portion of FM 969 after the late right-wing political activist. Glass told the packed courtroom the idea was first brought to him three months earlier and he wrestled with the decision to include it in the agenda.
