Farmers Branch is now one of five North Texas cities calling for their sales tax contribution for DART to be reduced.
Carrollton and Farmers Branch have joined Plano , Irving and Rowlett in approving a resolution that states they believe their sales tax contribution for DART should be reduced. DART says reducing their revenue from cities by 25 percent would have devastating consequences."They need to look at how they manage themselves, because they are using our money," said Farmers Branch Mayor Terry Lynne on Tuesday.
The sentiments are being echoed by Farmers Branch city councilman Richard Jackson, who added a remark some are calling offensive."40 years and they can't seem to police this parking lot here. We have residences in high-dollar townhomes here, and nothing but a chain-link fence between them and all the trash that comes up here on their trains," said Jackson.Wednesday, in an interview with FOX 4, DART's spokeswoman fired back.
