2. I Worked for Farmers Branch

I worked for Farmers Branch at the time Mr. O'hare was mayor. Every bad thing you read about him is probably true. He had a very difficult time working with a female City Manager and female department heads.

I will never forget the wave of anti-immigrant sentiment he stirred up and how he got the whole city on edge. At a council meeting on an agenda item to require City police check immigrant status of each arrest, he was shocked to find out the state representative for most of the precinct the city was in was HISPANIC when he appeared to speak against the measure.

He lead a wave to privatize City services and the City I believe has suffered as a result of it. To this day the library is till run by an outside private entity and the removal of degreed librarians running the facility was implemented.
