Carrollton Immigration issues
http://carrolltondiary.blogspot.com/2008/07/carrollton-immigration-issues.html
The following letter was published in Dallas Morning News -http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/opinion/letters/stories/DN-letters_0725edi.North.Edition1.12605da.html
As a Carrolltonian, I ask the Mayor and the City Council to stop wasting their time on matters that are not going to make one bit of a difference to any Citizen of Carrollton. Not a penny's worth of benefit will accrue to any.
English is the language we conduct our court and general business. To make it official is redundant. People will continue to speak German, Chinese, Hindi, Urdu, Spanish, French, Japanese or British in their homes. Perhaps our first Lady Bush speaks Spanish with her family, stop her!
I hope Mayor Branson did not say this "that if a resolution kept one illegal immigrant out of Carrollton, "it would be worth it." Let the Mayor earn the political support by doing good things and not pandering to those prejudiced ones, those few handful, less than 1/10th of 1% (110) of our population of 110,000 people who would like to get rid of any one who does not look like them, talk like them.
It is time the Carrolltonians ask the City Council to focus on doing things that benefit the City or the public in general.

Carrollton City Council to appoint panel on illegal immigration
12:59 AM CDT on Saturday, July 19, 2008
By BRANDON FORMBY /
The Dallas Morning News
bformby@dallasnews.com
The Carrollton City Council is expected to appoint a residents' task force to develop possible approaches to illegal immigration.
The idea for such a group came late Friday during a council retreat after council members failed to reach a consensus on proposed illegal immigration resolutions.
Mayor Ron Branson and council member Terry Simons had proposed a resolution affirming English as the city's official language, arguing that it would deter illegal immigrants.
But council members Tim Hayden and Herb Weidinger disagreed.
Mr. Hayden said such a resolution would do little more than generate headlines.
"I'm trying to follow the logic, but I'm getting lost," he said.
Mr. Branson said that if a resolution kept one illegal immigrant out of Carrollton, "it would be worth it."
He has said that one of his top priorities as mayor will be to work to rid the city of illegal immigrants, some of whom he said moved to Carrollton after neighboring Farmers Branch made them unwelcome with its efforts to prevent them from renting property.
Carrollton already participates in the Criminal Alien Program, which has jailers contacting Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers when they think a detainee is in the U.S. illegally. And in April, the city was accepted into a federal program that trains local police to act as immigration officers.
Mr. Branson resigned from the City Council in 2006 for health reasons but unseated the incumbent mayor in May.
Farmers Branch made English the city's official language in 2006. The Oak Point City Council adopted a resolution supporting the use of English as the official language of documents in this small Denton County town last summer.
Council member John Mahalik said he did not want Carrollton to be lumped together with cities such as Farmers Branch that have drawn widespread attention for their approaches to illegal immigration. But he also said he would support a resolution making English Carrollton's official language.
Council member Pat Malone raised the question of whether a resolution would have any significant impact. She also wondered whether it would send a message to residents that the council cares about the problem of illegal immigration.
The council also failed to reach a consensus on a proposed resolution supporting Farmers Branch's approach to illegal immigration, which has included ordinances that have been blocked by or tied up in court.
Council member Matthew Marchant did not voice support or opposition on the resolutions. Council member Larry Williams was not at the retreat Friday.
The council is likely to vote on the structure and membership of the task force in September.

Farewell to Becky Miller
The following Farewell speech was made by Mayor Becky Miller on her last day in the office on Tuesday, May 20, 2008.
I was not able to attend the event, as I am sitting by my wife, who could embark on the eternal journey towards the lord any time now.
Becky is a compassionate and caring individual who has served her office of the Mayor very well. I was hoping she would be re-elected, as she ran a clean campaign as promised to Darla and myself. I was hoping the average Carrolltonian had made it to the booth, but we have to accept the verdict of those who did make it to the polls. This is our system and we honor it.
Congratulations to Ron Branson, I hope he will continue to carry the prosperity goals for Carrollton and embrace Carrollton's tradition of diversity that Becky Miller has established. Farewell to Becky Miller, she was one of the best Mayors we have had and her contributions to our City' economic prosperity and diversity are appreciated and remembered for years to come.

I feel honored and extremely fulfilled to have been able to kick off my career as a civil servant in my roles as City Council Member and the Mayor of the great city of Carrollton. I owe my priceless and thoroughly rewarding opportunity to my friends, supporters and professional colleagues who worked tirelessly on my campaigns, in the office and most importantly out in the community – where everything happens. I am thankful that I know each of you.
As I officially exit this important post, I am truly proud to be able to stand here before all of you knowing my team ran a clean and honorable campaign – solely focusing on the issues that are key for our citizens and my proven record of excellence. The role of Mayor is nonstop service – requiring stamina, time, integrity and patience. And my service to each of you and this city has been recognized at the regional, state and national levels.
During my tenure as mayor, I have been able to bring people together from different ethnic, social and religious backgrounds – celebrating our cultural differences, yet working together for a common cause – helping to ensure that Carrollton reflects this country – a melting pot full of opportunities for growth.
As long as we continue our city’s long-standing tradition of welcoming diversity and treating people with the humanity and sensitivity that makes Carrollton a cultural leader – our city will continue to reflect the diversity and progress for which our state and country are known. It’s basic, people don’t stay where they don’t feel welcome. I love the way it feels to be in Carrollton and it’s my hope that the legacy that my team has celebrated and maintained – which embraces cultural diversity and progress – isn’t snuffed out – because it could indeed destroy a spirit that many (even before me) helped build.
I look forward to seeing a Council with committees, boards and commissions that reflect a spectrum of diversity.
I especially thank all of the employees of the City of Carrollton who continue to work tirelessly for our city. I hope each of you knows how much I have enjoyed working with you over the past 10 years. I would especially like to thank Vicki Gomez for taking such good care of me – you were a consistently welcoming spirit who treated all who reached out to the Mayor’s office with the dignity and professionalism they deserved. I also appreciate and sincerely thank Leonard Martin for being such a visionary. It was a real pleasure working with him. He has done so many wonderful things for the City. I trust the Council won’t lose the great resources we have built over these years.
I also want to recognize our first responders. Our police and firefighter are the best in the state and they protect this city with tireless dedication. I would like to thank the Police and Firefighters Association for their endorsements, and for believing in me. Chief James and Chief Murphy are two of the finest, most professional chiefs that I have ever known. We continue to win awards on the state and national level for the different initiatives that we have implemented. We are one of the safest cities in the state and nation, and one of the best cities to live in the United States -- a fact that was never in debate.
I wish the council members all the best. I have been truly blessed to have served with them, and know they will continue to work toward the vision we have worked together to set forth for the City. I will continue to stay involved in the community. Through my faith, I know that God has a new plan for me. While my assignment as Mayor is now complete, I look forward to the new plan He is laying out for my family and me.
Lastly, I would like to thank my family for all of their love and support. Thank you for generously sharing me with the city and supporting my passion as Mayor. I will now have more time to spend with my family, which is happening already! I was able to succeed as Mayor and give my all to my city because my loving husband Jerry was by my side every step of the way. I truly love and appreciate him and would not be who I am without him.
God knew just who I needed to fulfill Part 1 of my destiny. And I’m blessed that Jerry and I will explore my new journey together as well. He is my rock.
Thank you all again, and I love all of you and I’ll see you around one of the safest cities in North Texas and a city that is nationally recognized as the 19th best place to live in the United States.
Thank you so much and I’ll see you around town!

The group is an affiliate of the Texas Municipal League, and serves to keep elected officials up-to-date on emerging municipal issues. Mayor Miller served as AMCC Vice-President for the past year, and is also the current President of the Metroplex Mayor’s Association.
Mayor Miller, in recognition of her commitment to continuing education as an elected public servant, was also recently a recipient of the AMCC/Texas Municipal League Award of Excellence. The honor is presented to officials who have received a Texas Municipal League Institute (TMLI) continuing education certificate for five consecutive years. Only five Texas elected officials currently hold this designation.
The TMLI program is designed to enhance the leadership and problem-solving capabilities of Texas’ elected officials. Participants are offered educational sessions regarding legal issues, budgeting, governance, personnel, open meetings and more.
The City of Carrollton was also honored with the Award of Leadership for Miller’s involvement in the continuing education program.

Becky Miller for Mayor
Becky Miller for Mayor
Mike Ghouse, March 07, 2008
I am pleased to announce that Mayor Becky Miller is running for the 2nd term as a Mayor. In the last few years I have grown to understand and respect her leadership in taking Carrollton forward. She has what it takes to pull different resource and people together to make it happen.
At this juncture of City’s growth, DART coming to town, H-Mart taking off and a lot of retail and restaurant development in the offing, her resources will come handy to put a nice touch to the growth of Carrollton.
Please register to vote before April 10th, as soon as the early voting dates are announced, I urge you to support her. May 10th is the day for final voting.
If you wish to volunteer, please look up her website http://www.votebecky.com/
