“About the English-only thing, maybe Farmers Branch doesn't want the US to become Quebec. As diverse as America is, one thing that keeps us united is a common language.”
Quebec is not bilingual because of anything its government did or did not do. And an English-only ordinance is not going to determine whether or not Farmers Branch is bilingual. What it will do is make government less efficient in providing services to it citizens. Why would a city council deliberately seek that end?
Private business understands this. That's why "Se habla espanol" signs are sprouting up in private businesses. If reports are true, Farmers Branch city council member Tim O'Hare's own business once advertised this. How can someone who exhibits smarts in the private sector suddenly get so dumb when elected to public office?
