PAS, you and I share the same goal.
However, human nature and commercialism are things that change at the speed of a glacier. At this juncture, the horse is out of the barn. 45 years and counting of the City riding on the back of a powerful, aggressive neighboring force has place the City in an frightful dilemma. It will be okay to break away; divorces are scary but they are hardly ever life ending. We are there. We do not exist in the minds of millions of Americans and thousands of Texans. It breaks my heart.
It is not the job of global companies to be politically correct. It is the job of a community to make itself relevant. Action speaks louder than words or propaganda.
There are a number of actions that the City must take to get into the mind space of the public; one that will emphatically do so is a Fort Worth Airport that directly showcases the city to the country. AFW, FTW or NASJRB FW can do that better than an international airport 18 miles out and that showcases the towns of Grapevine, Irving, Euless and Coppell more than Fort Worth.
Spend $25,000,000 to build a 10 gate terminal and the low cost airlines will flock here to serve not only Western Tarrant County but Dallas and Denton County residents too.
