Yes, this is a small operation, population wise and financially. The Brooks County most recent fiscal year budget has around $6M in revenue: https://www.co.brooks.tx.us/upload/page/5141/docs/20210922120105985.pdf
Really the federal government should be publishing and distributing guidance to local governments about how to run IT.
I am wondering about how the ransom payout is going to show up in next year's budget. "Miscellaneous"?
Off topic, but there is a documentary about migration through Brooks County and the perils faced by people trying to migrate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_in_Brooks_County
