Durango tells you about American Airlines filing bankruptcy and the boondoggle/bankruptcy connection in Fort Worth.
That ain’t the only connection in Fort Worth…stay tuned.
It is interesting how Fort Worth's scandals and boondoggles intersect.
Fort Worth abused eminent domain to take away a public housing project so the land could be given to Radio Shack. Radio Shack then took away Fort Worth's free parking lots and subway which made visiting downtown Fort Worth pleasantly easy.
Meanwhile Tarrant County College began building a very expensive new downtown campus that eventually turned into a boondoogle that was costing too much. So, that construction was scaled back with the majority of the new downtown campus moved over to the then mostly abandoned Radio Shack corporate headquarters.
