All good Letters to the Editor in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram today.  We'll post one below, but you should check them all out - one about the flawed Fort Worth gas drilling study and WHY it is delayed, one about the liars tax for politicians, and one about voting in Tarrant county, don't miss the quote.

Here's a letter on the mayor's race in Fort Worth between Cathy Hirt, Betsy Price and Jim Lane.  YOU can't afford to miss it. 

Mayor's race

Cathy Hirt, Jim Lane and Betsy Price have filed for mayor.

Price and Lane only filed after Mike Moncrief announced retirement. Both indicated they supported business as usual, a sentiment supported by Councilman Jungus Jordan. I take that as an endorsement of accounting problems, budget and infrastructure deficits, a Titanic pension fund outlook, abounding ethics issues and too many questions regarding gas-drilling issues to enumerate.

Price has a solid record for taking your money, but will she give any of it back? Lane has supported every TIF, tax abatement and public/private development scheme that has come down the pike, and most have cost the city millions of dollars.

I know them all -- worked with Lane and Hirt on the City Council; know Price from political circles. Only one has the vision and determination to lead this city, and that's Cathy Hirt. She will fix our problems, not perpetuate them.
