Sagging Pants and First Class Flights: The Priorities of Mayor Moncrief
It is impossible to turn on the television today and not hear something about the stock market, the Presidential campaign, mortgages or gas prices. Even when you tune into the local news, one can assume to get updated info about how the current economy is affecting our local area and what our local elected officials are doing about the crisis. But in an article titled “Sagging Pants and First Class Flights: The Priorities of Mayor Moncrief” by Shawn Griffiths, the author clearly shows that the Mayor of Fort Worth doesn’t seem to have his priorities in line. Rather than focusing on how to relieve some of the financial burdens on his city’s citizens or to provide guidance with the future being so unclear, the article shows that his main goal is to get the youth to dress more appropriately as well as spend tax dollars on five star hotels. Clearly, citizens in that area need to ensure a high voter turnout at their next election.

I hear your frustration. However wouldn't it be safer to say that the issue isn't voter turn out? Educating the voters on the details of the position being sought after and who they are voting for seems much more important. In return voters getting the information and understanding required to make an educated choice seems to be a valuable key as well.
Yes I agree, that is a heavy topic at every election, particularly this one. But the point of that last comment in regards to voter turnout was to get someone else elected rather than him because he is apparently not doing a very good job. But yes, I agree with you, that is just a whole other topic! Thanks for reading though!
