Though the funniest one had to be the one from former city council member Becky Haskin, stating that Price "does not represent special interest groups who will ruin the city's budget if left unchallenged." WHAT? Special interest groups asked her to run, to keep their budget runining boondoogle, the Trinity River Vision flowing.
Again, will someone please answer the question - WHO will make up Betsy Price's $100,000 pay cut she would take for going from Tax Collector to (heaven forbid) Mayor?
We enjoyed the letter from the retired Navy SEAL. We salute you, sir!
My life has been devoted to protecting our citizens and preserving our freedom from those who would do us harm. So, I must warn you of a mayoral candidate:
His vote as city councilman in 2002 provided exorbitant pensions that place Cowtown in peril with the 10th-shortest timeline to becoming insolvent.
He has accepted $154,000 in direct campaign contributions from the police and firefighter associations, the majority of whose members do not even live in or pay taxes to Fort Worth.
He helped put us on the hook for unfunded liabilities somewhere between $700 million and $2 billion in pension funds and healthcare.
This lawyer routinely sues Fort Worth on behalf of disgruntled city employees.
Jim Lane, please define your constituency! You are certainly no representative of Fort Worth's residents and fatigued taxpayers!
-- Mark Waddell, commander, USN, SEAL (ret.), Fort Worth
Please educate yourself before voting. Best place for information on the Mayor race? FW Weekly, of course. Be sure and read about Cathy Hirt, YOU can't afford not to!
