Davis denies conflicts in Fort Worth council votes
Fort Worth councilwoman and gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis faced questions over recusals as the Dallas Morning News detailed votes on matters involving firms tied to her private title business. The report notes a 2006 hotel tax incentive vote after she and her ex-husband sold the company and assumed an executive role with Republic Title of Texas, with no clear profit disclosed. Davis says she consulted the city attorney to avoid conflicts and recused herself when appropriate.
