The Fort Worth Mayor race...what a disappointment. Since some of you couldn't be bothered to get off your couch to vote, you'll get more of what you got.
Now what we've got is a bunch of politicians, the gas industry, the police and fire associations fighting over the Mayor. So, whichever one is elected, WHO do you think they will answer to? THE PEOPLE or the ones WHO bought their campaign?
Good guess, Einstein.
See what Durango had to say here.
See what Clyde had to say here.
I think it’s by design that two candidates favoring abuse of eminent domain, gross waste of public monies, and favoring the well connected and influential, are the last two standing in the June runoff election.
Kay Granger, Dee Kelly, and Ed Bass will laugh all the way to the bank. They win no matter who is elected. The TRV keeps wasting along and the influence over public spending and other downtown accommodation doesn’t change a bit. Those are three individuals who Betsy Price initially named as the ones who influenced her to run for mayor. Chesapeake gas jumped on the half Price bandwagon late in the electioneering, so they have preserved their place of influence as well.
Not that Lane is without influence, his treasurer is Ken Barr, former mayor and Chesapeake Gas lobbyist. It goes without saying that Jim will continue to support the flagrant abuse of property rights and wasteful spending of tax dollars. Jim’s other albatross is the police and firefighter unions who have pumped tons of money into his campaign. So to whom does he owe his allegiance?
