The good-old-boy system is alive and well on the Keller City Council. The question before the council was whether or not Jim Carson violated the city charter. Instead of bringing in an outside, unbiased opinion, the council voted, 2-3, that he did not violate the charter. But isn’t it interesting that two of the votes in favor of Carson (Brown and McGrail), were from councilmen that Carson campaigned for during the last election? Jim Carson even created their Web sites. Yes, the good-old-boy system prevails again. You scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours. How long will the citizens of Keller allow this to continue?
Jim Carson not only violated the city charter, but he has managed to run off some of our best city employees. Morale among city staff is at an all-time low because of his interference. Candidates for a new city manager are quickly dropping out of the running and who can blame them? No one wants to work in the environment that Jim Carson has created at city hall.
