We weren't the only one who enjoyed Martha Walker's explanation of the TIF for TRV and what it means for the community.
Another letter in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram today.
Tarrant County needs more Martha's.
It was rewarding to see Martha Walker’s Aug. 19 letter about tax incremental financing. Martha is the kind of "straight arrow" that local government needs so very much. Her views on TIFs are informed and forceful. It is a shame that most elected officials will give away their tax power to private interests and then claim budget shortfalls and crises. Martha knows the inside story.
— Jerry Pikulinski, Arlington

Are you a concerned citizen?
Have you been appalled by what you see on the "news" happening in the communities? Ever been disturbed by the lack of coverage or the lack of facts shared by the media? Who knows more about what is going on in your community? A reporter with a deadline or informed citizens? Have you ever attended a city meeting? Are you concerned with your current leadership? Ever written a Letter to the Editor that was edited beyond recognition? Or not printed at all? Let us know what's going on in your cities, help to educate your neighbors. The things taking place now are regional and affect all of us.
