Voters chose city council members, mayors and school board members across the Fort Worth area today. Among the items on the ballot: a hotel tax for the Convention Center in Fort Worth and three members for the Tarrant Appraisal District Board of Directors. If no candidate gets more than 50% of the vote, the top two vote-getters head to a runoff June 15.
