SUMMARY:Follow the Money: Where Fort Worth Actually Spends Your Taxes
DESCRIPTION:Walk through Fort Worth’s actual spending with AFP\nFort Worth is $94 million short heading into next year. The city’s answer is a 3.2-cent increase in the property tax rate\, bringing it to 70.2 cents per $100 of value\, plus 51 eliminated positions and 91 more left frozen. \nThat is the headline. Almost nobody can tell you how the city got there. \nCome find out. We are walking through Fort Worth’s actual spending\, in plain language\, with the city’s own numbers on the screen. Where does the general fund go? What grew fastest over the last five years\, and what got squeezed to pay for it? Which parts of the $94 million gap trace to specific decisions the council made\, including $46.2 million in new public safety and personnel costs\, $14 million in health care increases\, and pay raises of 8.5 percent for firefighters and 6 percent for police. What the city counts as a “cut” and whether spending actually falls. \nYou will also get the part the city’s presentation leaves out: what the tax rate increase means for your bill specifically\, and why the average homeowner’s number moved the way it did this year. \nBring your tax statement if you have it handy. Bring your questions. You will leave able to explain this budget to your neighbor without a chart. \nSeptember 11th at 6:00 PM — Angelos’s BBQ\, 2533 White Settlement Rd\, Fort Worth TX 76107. \nRSVP so we can save you a seat.

SUMMARY:Fort Worth Budget Speech Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Let your voice be heard!\nFort Worth’s council votes on the FY2027 budget and a proposed tax rate increase on September 15. Residents get two minutes each at the microphone. Most people waste them. \nAaron James sits on the White Settlement City Council\, which means he has spent the last several months on the receiving end of public comment. He knows which two minutes change a council member’s thinking and which ones get tuned out before the timer hits thirty seconds. He is teaching this workshop so Fort Worth residents show up on the 15th with something council cannot dismiss. \nYou will leave with a written comment in hand. We will work through how to open so people look up\, how to use one specific number instead of five vague ones\, how to make an ask council can actually act on\, and how to hold your ground under a hostile question without giving anyone a reason to stop listening. Respect is not a formality here. It is the thing that keeps you credible when you are telling eleven elected officials they are wrong. \nDinner is on us\, courtesy of Americans for Prosperity. No experience necessary. If you have never spoken at a public meeting in your life\, this is the room for you. \nSeptember 14th at 6:30 — Old Texas Brewing Company\, Fort Worth. \nRSVP TODAY so we have a plate and a seat for you. \nUse the Registration link “Will Attend” provided.
