Fort Worth Blossoms Under Mike Moncrief

This morning's Fort Worth Star-Telegram's letters to the editor once more had 2 letters to the editor in support of re-electing Mayor Mike Moncrief.

And once again the letters appear to have spun from the same boiler plate as previous letters to the editor in support of Moncrief.

And for the first time amongst these letters hyperbolic nonsense there is a mention made of some actual thing Moncrief supposedly has done for Fort Worth during his reign, that being a supposed 10% reduction in homelessness.

These cliche filled letters have so many gems. In one the writer says he or she had watched the community rally behind the homeless program? Huh? How do you watch such a thing? And the city has blossomed under Moncrief? Huh, again? How has it blossomed? Are there more wildflowers?

Anyway, below are the 2 Moncrief letters of the day (that the Star-Telegram should charge a fee to print as an advertisement)....

Fort Worth mayor

Mike Moncrief has long ago proved his loyalty and devotion to Texas and to the city of Fort Worth.

One can research his political career and see that his tireless efforts and his personal contributions more than reflect this dedication to service. He has proved himself to be a brilliant businessman and has a vision of many improvements for the future of Fort Worth.

This city has blossomed since he took office, and I hope to see him here for a long time.

It would be so nice to read ALL of the facts and not just the bits and pieces of information that the Star-Telegram wants us to know — therefore we must do our homework.

Mayor Mike Moncrief’s homeless-assistance initiative shows his sincere and heartfelt passion for our city and all our residents.

I recently saw that homelessness in Fort Worth has been reduced by almost 10 percent in the short time of this important program. Moncrief’s leadership on this issue has uplifted community awareness and inspired action by many in the city for a group of neighbors who are truly least fortunate.

I have watched the community rally behind this very worthy program to help house, care for and retrain the city’s homeless population. A great leader is measured on many levels, and Fort Worth is fortunate to have a mayor whose sincerity and compassion inspires others.
