GMSA: Lila Cockrell funeral arrangements; 12 new laws; BGC highlights

Good morning and Happy Labor Day weekend! As we get ready to celebrate the unofficial end of summer, our thoughts are with everyone in the path of Hurricane Dorian. Leslie is traveling to southern Georgia for a long-planned trip this weekend. I know she's coming home earlier than planned, hoping to get out of Dorian's way. Cross your fingers she doesn't get stuck out there. Many of you may have outdoor plans this weekend. I did my grilling last night...fire-roasting a whole chicken. It was delicious! I plan to just chill out this weekend after spending more time on a local river than planned last weekend (the water level was low). Tiffany, who's subbing for Leslie today, says she's going to dip her toes in the beautiful Frio River. Concan will be crowded this weekend!
