Duh. Of course they do. The career politicians of Tarrant County are all trying to outspend each other. Their campaign and donation rosters read like the WHO's WHO of the Fort Worth Way (that's not a good thing). Congresswoman Kay Granger asking Besty Price to run. (Again, WHO is going to make up her $100,000 a year pay cut?). Former Mayor, current Chesapeake employee, Ken Barr on Jim Lane's campaign staff. We noticed Marty Leonard, a fellow Tarrant Regional Water District Board with Lane, donated to Price. What does that tell you?
Do YOU want a mayor who is bought and is beholden to those WHO paid? Or do YOU want a real person WHO cares about THE PEOPLE, not the players?
If you want someone not bought and paid for by special interests, wise up. We've noticed a pattern, those running with less money are running for a reason - YOU.
While city council races are supposed to be nonpartisan, many people keep ending up on the blog searching for Jim Lane's political party, you can learn that here.
Unless they say something new, we won't post the Fort Worth Star-Telegram editorial board picks here, as they usually always say "Vote for the incumbent". It will be interesting to see what they say since there isn't one for Mayor.
We've been asked WHO gets our vote for Mayor? While we usually don't agree on things, we all agree on this one. Cathy Hirt. Hands down. If you were at the forum last night, you know why. Do yourself a favor, get someone in office that cares about saving you money, not about status with the players. The cost of the "status" is too expensive. Fort Worth can't afford it.
