What does the "news" paper say?

Fort Worth road not getting repaired.

"Fort Worth remains way behind on road repairs"

But not to worry.  As of August 23, the Trinity River Vision was right on schedule.  And only a million more.

WHAT happened to the gamble that was taken with YOUR money?  WHAT will happen with the next one?  WHICH one is a priority to YOU?

Of that money, more than $32 million was first approved by voters about seven years ago.

Why wasn't the money spent? City officials say they hung onto tens of millions in an attempt to grab federal stimulus money -- yet didn't know what work, if any, would qualify. In the end, almost all those projects failed to pan out, leaving neighborhood streets and thoroughfares broken despite voter approval of bonds to pay to fix them.

The explanations go on: inadequate debt capacity, a slowdown in projects due to the recession and a lack of accountability within the Transportation & Public Works Department. And, city officials say, the staff didn't push hard enough to get the job done.

"Reports coming through management were lax. Accountability was a major issue. The focus was not there," Councilman Jungus Jordan said.
