We hear ya...

Maybe you should see to it your "leaders" do.  And not just local "leaders".  Another Letter to the Editor in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.   Keep making noise...and sense.


Misplaced priorities

I hope your juxtaposition of the Thursday stories on the Trinity Uptown and closing Fort Worth libraries was intentional. It certainly points out the absurdity of the penny-wise, pound-foolish Fort Worth City Council.

While I realize less than $30 million of the $909 million for Trinity Uptown will come from the city of Fort Worth, it is certainly $30 million that can keep a lot of libraries and swimming pools open.

Those bridges over nothing will stand as monuments to the same kind of thinking that built the Mercado, a city-owned Mexican market that cost the city nearly $5 million to construct and sat empty until it was sold for $2 million.

With the current crisis in the federal economy, there is no way the federal dollars are going to come through to finish this boondoggle that will destroy the confluence of the Trinity River. That train has left the station. Forget the bridges. Spend it on the libraries, swimming pools and city services.
