Same old…



We’re talking about the Fort Worth Star-Telegram editorial on the local elections.

They haven’t told you who to vote for yet, but you know the drill, they say incumbents…

Isn’t that how we got in this mess?

It’s the purest definition of insanity.  Doing the same thing, expecting different results.

We agree with them on a point, “Voters shouldn’t be misled…”  No, they shouldn’t.  So don’t do it again.

Voters shouldn't be misled: The May local elections are serious business.

Representatives at the city and county levels are closest to people who elected them. They're the officials whom residents and neighborhood coalitions have the best chance of influencing. Typically low turnout means local races are where every individual vote can matter most.

The powerful but obscure board of the Tarrant Regional Water District has seven candidates, including three incumbents, running for three seats.

Here’s YOUR chance to say NO more incumbents.
