A tense exchange during Tuesday's commissioner's court meeting between Tarrant County Judge Tim O'Hare and Commissioner Alisa Simmons is spilling into the community.
As Simmons quipped back, O'Hare said, “I'm the one talking now, so, you'll sit there and be quiet and listen while I'm talking, and then you can talk later.""Words and phrases that are permeated with racial overtones," said Michael Bell, with Unity in the Community Coalition of Tarrant County on Thursday morning.
This Commissioner regularly uses foul language in meetings, including cussing and yelling at the County Administrator during the April 2 public meeting. "To have that type of behavior, it is absolutely unacceptable. It is not acceptable. We will not stand and condone it," said Estella Williams, Fort Worth-Tarrant County NAACP President.
