I talked not to a single mother yesterday on Mother's Day.
Actually, technically, the above sentence is not quite true because I did talk to Alex yesterday and Alex is a single mother. But that is a different meaning of 'single mother' than was intended in the second paragraph.
Don Young, via FW CAN DO, has endorsed Cathy Hirt to replace the corrupt regime of the current Fort Worth mayor, Mike Moncrief.
A couple days ago the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Bud Kennedy did an easy assessment of the FW mayor's race, which goes sort of as follows.
If you think everything in Fort Worth is hunky dory then Betsy Price or Jim Lane are you choices, with Betsy leaning to the R side and Jim to the D's. If you think the Trinity River Vision is a boondoggle and that the Moncrief regime has been a corrupt nightmare for Fort Worth then Cathy Hirt and Dan Barrett are your choices, with Cathy leaning to the R side and Dan to the D's.
The 5th guy in the race, I can't remember his name, is irrelevant.
Speaking of FW. I read this morning that the regional light rail system and express bus service which was expected to expand light rail to FW by 2023, as part of the Sound Transit 2 package approved by voters in 2008, will not meet its expected timeline due to tax revenue being down due to the recession which began soon after voters approved the light rail expansion.
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm probably confusing locals by referring to FW getting light rail and the voters approving of the project. No, the FW I am talking about is Federal Way in Washington, not Fort Worth in Texas. Everyone knows that the citizens in Fort Worth are not allowed to vote on public works projects. Everyone also knows there is no regional transit plan in the D/FW Metroplex zone.
I need to go swimming now and cool off.
