An HONEST leader with a plan to strengthen ethics at

Forney City Hall.

“Honest leadership begins with strengthening ethics and transparency at Forney City Hall. We have the responsibility to end the undue influence lobbyists have over the process by which our City Council, committees and commissions spend our tax dollars and how they vote on future developments near and around our family neighborhoods.”

After discovering preferential treatment for campaign contributors and a lack of transparency by some on previous City Councils influenced by high-dollar lobbyists, Jason Roberson has announced a comprehensive plan to strengthen ethics for all Forney elected officials, city staff and members of various city committees including the Planning & Zoning Committee.  

Jason recently appeared on WFAA’s “Inside Texas Politics” to roll out his plan for improving ethics and transparency at City Hall. His appearance can be seen here:
