Fort Worth Mayor Pro Tem

We recently received a comment concerning the "unbecoming" behavior of blindsiding the current Fort Worth mayor pro tem and electing a new one.

Regarding the Mayor Pro-Tem, hey, it happened to Chuck Silcox twice and I don't remember Bob Ray coming to Chuck's defense. Actually Chuck handled the insult much more graciously than Hicks.

In searching for information about Chuck Silcox losing the Mayor pro tem title, we found this blurb in his obituary from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram daily newspaper.

In 2006, Moncrief engineered a vote that stripped Mr. Silcox of a largely symbolic title, mayor pro tem. Mr. Silcox took it in stride:
"I will look forward to being the old Silcox. Democracy is asking questions," he said at the time.
