Fort Worth's Corrupt Mayor Mike Moncrief's Re-Election Is A Sign Of The Apocalypse

I do not know how I missed this gem in Fort Worth Weekly's Best of 2009 issue about Fort Worth's notoriously corrupt mayor, Mike Moncrief.

I previously noticed and blogged about another Best of 2009 mention of Fort Worth's un-esteemed mayor, that being him being Fort Worth Weekly's pick as "The Politician Most Likely to Sell Grandma to the Highest Bidder."

But, I somehow missed the other Mayor Mike Moncrief Best of 2009 mention. That being "Sign of the Apocalypse."

The Reader's Choice was the Tarrant County College downtown campus boondoggle.

The Critic's Choice for "Sign of the Apocalypse" was Mayor Mike Moncrief's landslide re-election.

About that particular election travesty, where only 6% of Fort Worth's registered voters voted and gave the insufferably corrupt mayor a landslide 70% victory, FW Weekly Critics said...

"Fort Worth voters elected this former senator as mayor in 2003. Since then, millions of dollars have gone unaccounted for at city hall but nobody got fired, the budget is in turmoil. Moncrief's gas drilling buddies are degrading the city's quality of life, and the mayor likes to bully and badger people who try to speak out at city council meetings. The apocalypse might almost be an improvement."
