Voters across Tarrant County went to the polls Saturday to select city and school board officials.
Mayor Betsy Price and the Fort Worth establishment managed to stave off the efforts of the leftist United Fort Worth’s bid for power.
Meanwhile, Colleyville’s pro-taxpayer city council and mayor were resoundingly returned to power by the voters. And in Haltom City, taxpayers scored a sweep, dealing the establishment a major blow.
Unfortunately, the establishment retained power in the Tarrant County Regional Water District election as Marty Leonard and Jim Lane held off challengers Mary Kelleher, Gary Moates, and Charles “C.B.” Team.
