Layne Craig made an uncommon appeal to Fort Worth ISD’s state-appointed board of managers: Dismantle the school library advisory council she leads.

Fort Worth city leaders' travel took them around the world. Here's the bill.

Fort Worth City Council members and Mayor Mattie Parker collectively recorded more than $100,000 in travel spending for city business between Oct. 1 2024, and August 2026, including a trip to President Donald Trump’s inauguration, plus trips to Indonesia and Japan. Travel expenses for Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker and the city’s current council members — plus previous members Gyna Bivens, Jared Williams, and Alan Blaylock — were obtained by the Star-Telegram through a public records request. Any reimbursements for trips, cancelled trips, or other changes in past spending that was added to spending reports after the data was received is not reflected. These spending records also include trips to professional conferences and trainings that council members attended. Here’s what to know about what Fort Worth’s leaders spent on travel as the city navigated a $94 million budget gap ahead of passing a $3.33 billion budget, and how the city governs traveling on the taxpayer’s dime. Who spent the most – and the least The highest spender out of the mayor and City Council members was council member Michael Crain, who recorded more than $36,000 in travel expenses.

A Tarrant Dem exited a Texas House race, then won. Now she plans to take office.

A North Texas Democrat who won the race for House District 93 despite suspending her campaign amid eligibility questions related to a conviction says she is qualified for office and plans to assume the elected position. Ericka Lomick won Nov. 3 elections for the Fort Worth area district , defeating Republican Alan Blaylock, a former Fort Worth City Council member. She left the race in the weeks before Election Day for a full term beginning in January and a partial term to fill the remainder of former Rep. Nate Schatzline’s current term, after he left the office early and didn’t seek reelection. He went on to work as a senior advisor for Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. Lomick’s campaign cited “questions” around her eligibility as the reason for the campaign’s suspension. Specific circumstances that would disqualify her from serving weren’t mentioned, but the announcement followed a news release from a political action committee claiming Lomick has a felony record. Given the timing of her exit, Lomick’s name remained on the ballot for the midterm election and special election. She won more votes than Blaylock in both instances. Federal court records out of North Carolina show that an Ericka Lomick was convicted
