State Representative Anna Mowery is a Fort Worth Treasure!

Unfortunately, the Star Telegram did not support State Representative Anna Mowery in this last election - stating falsely, in so many words, that Mowery was not being friendly to the city.
Nothing is farther from the truth. Obviously, as most of us know.
She has consistently fought for the Fort Worth citizens in many ways, and sometimes been against some bad policies that the city government made, because she knew they were not in the best interest of the citizens. One major " bad policy " is Fort Worth's forced annexation policy - since most of the council and mayor candidates campaigned "against" forced annexation.
Mowery knows how terrible "forced annexation" is, because she talks to county Texans across the state who have been devastated by greedy city governments, and city citizens who suffer from diluted city services, including fire, police, and ambulance response times.
We also applaud Phillippe Lalonde's Nov. 12th letter to the editor telling the county of Arlene Wohlgemuth's defeat after her betrayal on the forced annexation issue to the Burleson, Keene, Cleburne, etc. areas. Many of them have said they "would not even want her for a dog catcher."
Like Governor Perry told us personally, "If you're going to annex me, let me vote on it."
