Mayor for a day, 11, names street after Justin Bieber
(CBS/AP) FORNEY, Texas - An 11-year-old named "mayor for a day" of a Dallas-area city used her political power to honor Justin Bieber.
Caroline Gonzalez's first act in office was to rename part of Main Street after the teen heartthrob.
A temporary sign for "Justin Bieber Way" went up Tuesday during a ceremony in Forney, Texas.
City Manager Brian Brooks says the request came from the 11-year-old Gonzalez, who won a contest meant to get young people interested in municipal government. She's active in student council, recycling and community service projects.
Brooks says city officials weren't able to reach Bieber to invite him to Forney, which is east of Dallas.
The tween politician's act won't cost the community much. Officials say the sign was made for about $20 and would only be displayed on Tuesday.
