More show me the money

So the Fort Worth budget is $50 million short, with another $5 million still missing...

There has been talk of cutting more services and staff. So when you balance your checkbook and you fall short by a minimum of $55 million, do you go out house hunting? Yeah, us either. But this is Fort Worth, so last night they voted to spend $200,000 to see if the old Post Office will make a nice cushy new city hall. One that will cost somewhere between $4-6 million a year.

This was on the table two years ago but was put off due to costs. Were we in worse shape two years ago?

Is this the most pressing matter in the city? So much so it can't wait until say we have the money?

Does any of this remind you of TCC?

Where will the money come from???
