Campaign finance reports filed by April 6 reveal which candidates secured the backing of wealthy donors. Many donors remain supportive of Fort Worth’s incumbent council members, two years after they first secured their place in public office.
Fort Worth City Council chose to keep its ban on short-term rentals in residential areas, which has been a hot button issue for months. The council will also vote on a registration ordinance in January that requires legal short-term rentals in mixed-use and commercial areas to register with the city and pay hotel occupancy tax.
