DISTRICT ATTORNEY KENNETH MAGIDSON AND HARRIS COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE TO BE HONORED DURING NOVEMBER 13th COUNCIL MEETING

The Harris County District Attorney has approved Hedwig Village’s request in the amount of $102,414.00 for the purchase of law enforcement equipment for the Hedwig Village Police Department.  At our November Regular Council meeting, the City will honor the efforts of District Attorney Kenneth Magidson for his institution of this program to assist area police agencies within Harris County and for his outstanding work in the Harris County District Attorney’s office.

Kenneth Magidson was appointed Harris County District Attorney by Governor Rick Perry on March 14, 2007 to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of Chuck Rosenthal.  He brought with him stellar credentials having served as Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Texas.  He will return to that office after the recently elected Harris County District Attorney takes office in January, 2009.

Soon after taking office, District Attorney Kenneth Magidson pursued an increased funding program to disburse funds to improve area organizations and agencies involved in law enforcement and victim’s assistance initiatives.  In the past, only interest had been allocated for grants to police organizations.  The funding for this program is not derived from your local taxes.  Instead, the funding comes from the D.A.’s share of asset forfeitures (cash and other valuables seized from illegal enterprises).  Hedwig Village benefits from this program by receiving funds it would normally have to draw from the City’s general budget revenues.

We believe that District Attorney Kenneth Magidson’s creative efforts should be acknowledged and recognized.  We hope that you will join us for a short presentation.    

Finally, we think you will agree that all Harris County residents owe District Attorney Kenneth Magidson a debt of gratitude for a job well done.  He is leaving the District Attorney’s office stronger and more improved.
