Who's taking bets this will speed up the process of Richland Hills becoming part of North Richland Hills?
Read about it in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Go down to Richland Hills City Council tomorrow and see it in person.
"Basically what it is, we've had folks come in and do video on the city secretary," Mayor David Ragan said. "That kind of made her nervous."
Gerrit Spieker, treasurer of Consolidate Now, believes that he, Michael Logan and David White inspired the city to consider the proposal. In January, they delivered a petition to City Secretary Linda Cantu requesting that a proposition to consolidate Richland Hills with North Richland Hills be placed on the May 12 ballot.
"We were in the lobby and videotaped delivering the petition to the city secretary," Spieker said. "I think [the proposed recording ban] is trumped-up paranoia."
If the proposal is approved, violators will not only be fined up to $2,000 but also be deemed trespassers and subject to immediate removal.
Officials in North Richland Hills, Haltom City, Hurst, Euless, Bedford and Colleyville said those cities have no similar ordinances.
"Nor have we contemplated one," Euless City Manager Gary McKamie said.
