Incumbent John Keating faces a challenge from Mark Piland.
The race for the Place 1 seat in the Frisco City Council is an echo of the city’s mayoral contest last year. It pits a more optimistic assessment of Frisco’s growth against one that is more skeptical of the city’s direction.
Incumbent John Keating, a longtime council member and an ally of Mayor Jeff Cheney, faces a challenge from Mark Piland, the city’s former fire chief. Piland ran against Cheney last spring and lost. We hope voters will return Keating to his seat.Frisco continues to be the talk of North Texas, with other cities wishing they could replicate its wins.
Keating and Piland also disagree on two propositions that would grant civil service protections and collective bargaining to Frisco firefighters. Keating opposes the measures, noting that Frisco has made sure firefighters and police are well compensated, while Piland supports the propositions.Piland would bring a less constructive tone to the council, and in our view, he fails to make a strong enough argument for why he should be elected over Keating. Voters should pick the incumbent..
