What will an 11-year-old do if she was Mayor? Name your town’s main street after your favorite singer.
This is what Caroline Gonzalez did when she won the right to be mayor of Forney, 23 miles east of Dallas, for 24 hours through a Facebook competition designed to promote interest in politics among young people.
When asked by E! Online why she chose to honor the singer, Caroline’s answer was, "Because I really like Justin Bieber. I like his music and I like him. And I thought, why not have a street in my home town named after my favorite singer?"
The sign, which would only be displayed Tuesday, caused the city to spend $20, the Dallas Morning News reported.
