More Whoa's


From Mr. Woodard in the Fort Worth Business Press.

Whoa to taxpayer woes

The last time I saw the confluence from now shuttered, bare, ruined Heritage Park, I visualized camp fires of American Indians and cavalry dragoons, the roaming buffalo and the deer and the antelope at play.

When my eyes shall be turned to behold for the last time the sun in heaven, may I not see the confluence shining on a constipated and contaminated mercury and chemical laden 33-acre, silted-in pond awash with dross, flotsam and floating dead fish where once there joined in glorious confluence two free-flowing rivers that hailed from out of the west. The Clear Fork and the West Fork! Union! Both now and forever!

$909 million! Whoa! Taxpayers! Pull up the drawbridge!

– Don Woodard, Fort Worth
