See you there!<\/p>\n<p>With all the changes taking place in the City of Fort Worth to make City<br \/>\nGovernment more accessible for the deaf and hard of hearing community, it is<br \/>\nimportant to learn about the candidates running for Mayor of Fort Worth.<br \/>\nMayor Mike Moncrief is not running for re-election.  Candidates who have<br \/>\nserved on the Fort Worth City Council before are running for Mayor now.<br \/>\nBefore now, access for the deaf and hard of hearing community was<br \/>\nquestionable.  Some of you may know more about this than Tracey and Friends,<br \/>\nprior to 2008.<\/p>\n<p>This is an important time in Fort Worth history for the deaf and hard of<br \/>\nhearing community as well as all of Fort Worth, especially for those who<br \/>\ncommunicate in American Sign Language.
