Whose city?
I was proud to present an overhead slide at the City Council meeting where Mayor Betsy Price said the city is "our Fort Worth" and requested that we "take ownership" of the city and make it better.
During the discussion on whether to let voters decide whether or not to increase the size of the council, we listened to a litany of excuses about why members thought we should stay at nine instead of increasing to 11.
The City Council is powerless to decide the size of the council if we, the people, decide to change it.
How can the mayor tell neighborhoods "it's your Fort Worth," then tell them their vote and opinion won't count?
How does an elected official tell the people to "make our great city even better by taking ownership," then attempt to deny them that ownership?
