FORT WORTH, Texas - There's a reason Tommy Bower doesn't tow vehicles for the city.

He would lose money every time.

Under a proposal being considered by the City Council, however, towing for the city could become a little more appealing.

Council members meet today and are expected to consider raising fees for wrecker companies that do work for the city. The meeting begins at 10 a.m. at City Hall, 1000 Throckmorton St.

"I think this is fair to the wrecker companies, and I think it's fair to Fort Worth," said Bower, a Texas Towing and Storage Association board member who does private towing.
