Tarrant County tax man references Hitler while cutting ties to United Way
FORT WORTH -- Two of Tarrant County’s elected officials no longer will encourage employees to donate to — or help raise money for — the United Way of Tarrant County.
They say the social services organization that raises money for local nonprofits has ties to Planned Parenthood, although they acknowledge United Way doesn’t contribute any of its own money to the women’s health and birth control center.
“This is a stain on what is otherwise a very worthy organization,” said Tax Assessor Collector Ron Wright, whose office will not raise money for the United Way this year. “People with United Way remind me of the enormous good they do in the community. And they do. Supporters of Planned Parenthood will say it too does enormous good in the community as well.
“I will remind all of them that Hitler made the trains run on time,” he said. “The good that’s being done doesn’t compensate for the evil that’s being done by Planned Parenthood.”
