Three Police Units Respond To Dog Fight ! They Did!

On March 15, 2008 my silly dog got into my neighbor from hell's yard and had a fight with her dog at 10:00AM in the morning. Neighbor from hell was not home. I called animal control to do health check on her dog to make sure he was OK. Animal control
could not go into her yard. I called SPCA to do health check they said they could not go into her yard, so I watched to see if her dog was OK and he seemed to be OK.
My dog got the worst of the fight and good for him ,he had been trained to stay out of her yard. It was his last chance he was removed from my home.
About 7:10PM I saw three police cars next door after about 35 minutes three Dallas Police Officers came to my door. The first bald head young man said, I need to see your dog, I said what dog, he said ma show me the dog, I said take over the house and do what you want(he never id himself by name or the other two officers)he then ask where the door was I showed him and the three of them went into the back yard.
They had already walked the backyard from her side of the fence with flashlights so they knew Dino (my dog) was not back there.The neighbor from hell told these people I was hiding the dog, how in the hell do you hide a dog that you have called 311 twice and SPCA once the same day. The mentality of Neighbor from hell is that I hide the dog, hell from what.The female Officer ask me if I had dog in garage? I said are you crazy? Who keeps a dog in a closed garage? During all that time they NEVER ask me my name, what happen or anything.I then saw another two man squad car arrive, keep in mind we are talking about a dog fight that took place at 10:AM that morning it is now about 8:00 in the evening on Saturday and 5 Police and 4 Police cars are on Bar Harbor investigating a dog fight. Then I saw Animal Control arrive he talk with them and then me, he smiled because he knew neighbor from hell has called them over 15 time about my dog. Each time it has been false. The female Officer came back into my home and ask for my dog registration I gave it to her and I ask if the neighbor had one she said she did not know.
The moral of this story: Tax dollars at waste with that many City employees on dog fight call, when did 911 start responding to dog fight? Animal control would not make health check on dog. Police never ask my side of story, if they had they would have found out early that dog was gone and animal control could have saved trip.Police called animal control based on information from Neighbor from hell
there was no legal reason to pick up my dog. I share this story because there is something wrong with a system that will keep people waiting for Police with serious crimes yet send four cars and five Officers to the scene of a 10 hour old dog fight with no injury or lost of life to a human or dog.
It tells me that an Elected Official made a call to the sub-station for that many Officers to respond and act the way they did.I have had many dealing with Dallas Police and never have I had a bad experience. I really feel for the Officers because they are being used and they are dam if they do and dam if they don't.This is what makes 14-1 bad the way it is used in my Council District 5.Marvin and Roy I am sorry you were doing a good thing it's the people that make it bad, but we have no way of knowing what they will do next.We need 10-4-1.

Neighbor From Hell !

I have been a resident in my community 21 years and never had a problem with a neighbor. Low and behold the Sub-Prime Lenders allowed a woman to move next door to me that is a living hell. My dog had a fight with this woman's dog last in 2006 and every since she has been obsessed with me and my family. This woman thinks about me every day, she lost in Court against me so now she's worst. She walks in her back yard and talk about me , she has pulled all my family members background checks, she could have read that in the news. She walks in her yard with visitors and loudly talks about me ,my dog ,son, husband and describes the dog fight over and over again.
I am not sure what can be done about her other then ignore her but it sure is hard. Maybe a fence will do.

14-1 Was Always Wrong !

I supported the 10-4-1 form of Council configuration when the City was in the battle.
10 single member Districts ,Mayor and 4 at large seats. We would have had some Independence from the ward politics we now have. The 14-1 form of Government leads to corruption , bad political decisions for small area and poor zoning for the City.
The recent Fairfield zoning case is a prime example of what happen when one Council person has final say on a zoning case that effects the entire City. The fact that another Council person is not expected to say anything and then scold if they do ,is UN American. What happens to people when they get elected? Do they become Little Kings and Queens ? What happens to what the people who voted for them have to say. What about the good of the City. Vonciel Hill sits there week after week not saying a word nothing is going on in District 5. The media and other Elected Officials have things to say about Councilman Dwain Caraway but he is doing what he was elected to do. The Dallas Observer called it the Dwain Caraway show well he is the one person in the Southern sector doing something about the old problem we've had for years.He's in the community and did not just start.
The Council is working but, when things happen like Jan Collmer being put off the DFW board and zoning cases like Fairfield, people like Neil Emmons making life hard for every one , builders not wanting to do business in Dallas, Fair Park being treated like it is ,something is wrong in Dallas. In one sentence the City Leaders say Fair Park is a Jewel and in another it's being dismantled piece by piece. We spent 50 million on the Cotton Bowl but nothing on the Park itself, how crazy. I wonder if there is a place to live with less headaches then Dallas with DISD.

DISD Trustees Impeachment / Carla Ranger Stay!

During my mental rest break I saw an item on the DISD agenda that was very close to my heart and tax bill. The District tried to hide it by simply saying on the official posting: Approval of Waiver To Board Policy(Local) Employment Requirements and Restrictions. I called a good friend and he got the official action sheet. There in plain English listed eleven names and their positions over a 1.5 million dollars going into Tax accounts of other school districts. The paper I have and what the Board approved was a permanent waiver not 12 months. Correct me if I am wrong. This says's the employee should have 12 month to comply,(but did not) however due to some hardships the Superintendent recommends granting a waiver. I spoke to the Board during the meeting and another guy spoke on the same issue. The Trustees looked us square in the face Dr. Hinojosa had that arrogant look when he knows he has the vote. Ron Price talked about how good Ms. Olson was and every person in the world knows it does not take greatness to lead Human Development:(hiring people) what makes this worst is this woman is charged with enforcing this very policy that she will not abide by, her Executive Director also is on this list. We have the top two people in Human Development living out of City and County. The Chief of Staff , school services, business services not one job related to teaching children nor are they critical. Ms. Olsen is an elected Official in Weatherford I guess that is her hardship, it does mean that the Dallas Board members have certainly met this woman in her official capacity. I lost a great deal of respect for the Superintendent because I really did believe that this man would be the one to lead DISD back into greatness. I supported Dr. H when many people did not, I went and spoke for him over
another man who had applied for the job and was serving as Interim and my neighbor. I believed that Dr. H being of Spanish decent was honest, hard working and was a product of the DISD and he had a commitment like no other. The fact that his family still lived in the Community made me feel all the better about him because Spanish people have a deep loyalty to their parents and family to do GOOD. When I met Dr. H he was so nice and down to earth, how could I be wrong about him. Does something happen to people after they become employed by DISD? Do the business men who run the school system really control the Board that much? I know John Scovell over at Hunt is the point man and always has been but normally he wants good for the District. Mr Posy is gone to Glory but he got his one sex schools he also wanted good for the District.
Who are the people responsible for the waste of money ? Can someone please tell that Board they are spending TAX money? How could they put a Bond package on the ballot and not tell the public what's in it? How can they think we are so ignorant that we
don't know they are holding that Audit until after the election ? If that Board is that silly Impeachment is the only answer. Carla Ranger is the only one who should stay. Mr.Lowe should be ashamed of himself he was taught better, Medrano comes from a family of good people I am not sure what got into him.I must take a rest from DISD
and the hurt and disappointment I feel about Dr. H. I felt about him as I do about Obama and he has let me down. If there is something that Dr. H could tell me about this I wish he would. VOTE NO ON BOND!

Time Out !

With the death of Lynn Shaw and the remarks ,I read and heard in the communities , I had to take a mental rest. I can not come to grips with how mean Dallas can be. How hateful people are even in death. I know why people have funeral attendance by invitation only. I want my friends Sharon Boyd and Dwain Caraway to help my family when I go to Glory, making sure the people that I would not want at my service do not enter.
Now John Price is saying "he never believed Rufus Shaw was sick" since the Medical examiner said there was no sign of cancer in Mr. Shaw. So What he's still dead.Who the hell cares what John Price believes. When will the media get it!Stop asking this man about stuff that has nothing to do with Dallas County.
John Price does not run anything but the County and who could not do that after 26 years on the job .The Jail is still a mess and many of the other County departments. If the public or residents of District 3 listen to what John Price said Max Wells, Mary Poss, Ed Oakley , Jesse Jones ,Billy Ratliff and others would be in office. and Dwain Caraway would not have won by 62% of the vote in the heart of District 3.
Hell he couldn't even get elected as an At Large Delegate at the 23 Senatorial Convention .Poor Ken Molberg had to invent another list and put his name on it as a Delegate, that tells you the whole dam thing was rigged. Why was there another list? How many AT Large Delegates did the 23 have? How could there be an empty slot after the Convention end and fora Hillary person who did not attend the convention.Voters let John go back down to 411 Elm because he has no other place to go, he can't win a congressional seat and he need the County pay.He fights dirty in a campaign and ruin his opponents life. The only people who listen to John Price are White folks in North Dallas.
Now you see why I had to take a mental rest. So much madness and crazy talk from people who should know better. I have not even mention DISD and the City Hall.
Living in Dallas will drive you crazy if you don't remove yourself from it every now and then.I am not about to check myself out. I will wait on the LORD!

p.s. If I misspell a word correct.

Blacks for Hillary Stop Her From Racial Campaign!

Hillary Clinton is doing more to divide the races then any KKK man could ever do. You Blacks, for her please demand that she stop. Do you have a voice with her? Is this more important then the Civic Rights Movement? This woman or her campaign staff is using racial divide and fear to get White and Hispanic votes. She has put Black voters in a sack yet Black leaders are out there for her as she does them in.



ps. if i spell something wrong correct it.

My Friend Jim Schutz ! Give It A Rest

Jim , you are my friend ,for what? 30 years now. Please trust me there is nothing. Give it a rest. You have a fool on one end mad because he is not Mayor wanting to embarrass Mayor Leppert with any thing he can going back with an email from June 2007. You have the Hispanics thinking Leppert is being good to the Blacks. You have that other Black group mad at Leppert,Johnson,Shaw because of the DART vote. You have that other group mad at the consulting contract they did not get and Shaw got it for Johnson. You have that other guy that has always called and threaten the Mayor no matter who it was. This hand full of angry, evil little people are working to destroy every one they think is in their way of helping themselves more. Why are they so afraid of the changing of the Guard? By the way The Mayor meet with the Black Chamber and the Hispanic Chamber.

Tom Leppert is no crook, Willis Johnson has worked all his life and is no crook or politician. Lynn Flint Shaw was a hard working woman who supported her family and gave to her community. She was no crook on the take because she had no money and could not pay her bills. None of the above mention groups have that problem, they have plenty of money, fancy addresses, multiply real estate , fancy cars and etc. Lynn and Rufus lived in the house he purchased 30 years ago with an equity loan taken in 2005. Ms.Shaw could not have taken money from anyone ,or DART because she borrowed from a friend. What ever she did wrong was not against her community it was a desperate attempt to save her family. I just wish I could have helped but she kept it from me also.

So please my friend, my other friend is dead please let her rest in peace because my heart is heavy and I can not take what has happen and continue even after her death.
The story has ended anything else will only hurt her innocent Son and Rufus's other kid's.

Thanks Jim

I Am Mad As Hell and Won't Take It Anymore !

Tom Leppert is the Mayor of Dallas. Tom is a good man ,one who really wants this City to work for all people. Every Elected Official since I have worked in the political arena has had his or her people. All Elected people have their inner circle of people they trust to do the right thing for the People.

The same handful of mean spirited unhappy people keep trying to hurt Mayor Leppert using Black and Hispanics to do the dirty work. The group of Blacks need no help.

Willis Johnson has worked in this community I know for 30 odd years, he has always tried to match people to opportunities and help his community. A well know consultant was so angry when Mr. Johnson came on the political scene and got some work that normally went to her , she will not even stand in a room with Mr. Johnson. Fact that Ms.Shaw was responsible for bringing Mr. Johnson in went against Ms. Shaw. Shaw,Johnson and others supported Mayor Leppert put them all on a hit list.
The sad part about it is this Group had the run of the city hall for years before Laura Miller came into office and I can not see one minority they helped. I see they
helped themselves and the Developer at Victory.

How can money mean that much to hurt people. Slander them for no other reason then to laugh and get even.

Willis Johnson is not a dirty politician, Lynn Shaw was not a dirty politician if she was , she would be alive today because she would not have had any financial problems.
The group I am talking about have money because they sold their souls for money. They have plenty of money but no peace. I saw another one of them on TV the other night looking old, worn and ugly. I know it will take a little more time but I hope
no one else gives up on life before God brings down this evil group.

My friend Lynn is dead I will never hear her voice again , that french creole way she spoke , I will not hear Rufus answer the phone "Shaw".

Mayor Tom Leppert is a good man and Mayor. Willis Johnson is a good man. Lynn Flint Shaw was a good woman.

I Am Mad As Hell and Won't Take It Anymore !

My Friend is DEAD and I am mad as hell and won't take it anymore. My Friend Lynn Flint-Shaw did not kill herself and leave her Son, my Friend Lynn did not kill herself because she loved God and Life. My Friend Lynn did not kill herself because she knew every thing was going to be OK! My Friend Lynn did not kill herself because she did not care that much about public Opinion. My Friend Lynn supported her family 25 years in this community and never got tired, she attended mass at 6AM in the morning, she worked and attended Civic affairs, meetings, worked on various campaigns
and Loved Rufus Shaw UN-conditionally.

My Friend Lynn was being tormented by a hand full of very sick ,evil people who have very little to live for. They have money, position and public standing , yet they have no happiness. I saw one of them at my precinct convention the other night she, did not have the look of a woman of money, her face looked unhappy, she was dressed shabby casual not smart or rich casual. She could not look at most of us in the room I sensed guilt. Another sits downtown and send private information to the press to embarrass Black people. Every confidential communication he receives in his official capacity he shares with the media. He also has other people attack Black leaders and hid his hand. The other can not get over the fact that he did not win the Mayor race, the other cannot get over not being Chair of DART.The other one just mad at the world and unhappy in a position to help people and does not know how.Such silly reason to drive people to want death over life.

Now , My Friend Lynn might have done something wrong if she was in a jam but haven't we all? Maybe not the same but something for the survival of our family. I will always love my Friend Lynn because she stood when other would not, Rufus spoke when others would not. Their blood in on the hand of a few evil,wicked people and may God deal with them in time.

Hillary Clinton Same Old Tricks as Bill!

The Hillary people are now busy trying to stop Obama with this trick" Who Is This Guy" do you really know him? I know about as much about Obama as I did when Bill Clinton took the stag for President. Jimmie Carter, Kerry, Kennedy and a host of others. The only person I knew was George Bush and I have been a friend to that family since 1963. I also knew President Johnson. I am so sick of Hillary dividing the Blacks and Brown and now there is a local war between them. She played to the Hispanic population and ignored the Blacks just because Obama is black and wrote us off. That is the same thing she will do if elected. I support Obama because he speaks to all the people. In Dallas Clinton did not try to reach black people. I do not want a retread of Bill. I want a new President and a different America.

Dallas City Council No Place For Working People!

Many working Dallas City Council people have lost their business or families have suffered from the lack of money. Mr. Fantroy's Attorney said "how could he tell the citizen of Dallas he had run his business into the ground" not easy, but he should have found another way to pay bills not using the College fund. People run for City Council because they want to. Bill Blaydes did not run again because of financial reasons, Craig Holcomb the same. People need to stop trying to be what they can not. I did not run for Council until I was retired and had income coming in to pay my bills. Councilwoman Vonciel Hill is never at City Hall her Aide runs the office she goes into committee meeting and stay just long enough to be counted present and leave never to return. The Lady has a private law practice to run she can not be at both places at the same time so the Council and District 5 are hurting because of it.
You can tell the people who can afford to be in Office they are at City Hall when needed. In the mean time the District suffers because the Council person has to steal or go to work.

PC: If there are spelling, grammar or other errors in this blog correct them:

Adelfa Callejo on Obama

It came as no surprise to me the comment by Ms. Adelfa Callejo about Obama problem is he's black. Most Hispanic,Asian, Indian's and others feel the same way about Black people and they are in this Country on our backs. What if Ms. Callejo was a Judge or in a position to make decisions on a Black persons life, how sad it would be for that person. I served on the DFW Airport Board with this lady and worked hard for her reappointment not knowing how she felt about Black people. Black people are the most hated people in the World.

DISD When Will You Stop ?

When will you stop taking the Tax Payers for fools. You have a residency policy
yet you continue to hire people who refuse to live in Dallas ISD. When you hire people they need to move into the District before they report to work. I do not
like paying high school tax in Dallas and paying for people to live in a District that pay's less in tax. Ms. Olson the HR Director is not in a "hard to fill" position there are planty of people in her area (she did not bring HR experience to the job) that would live in Dallas and work. I have never worked aganist a DISD bond election but if the District continues to violate it's own policy I will this time.

DA's Career on the Line!

I support Lynn Flint Shaw and will help her in any way.I support Craig Watkins and what he has done in the DA's office on Justice for All. The DA is now putting his job on the line for a case that could have been handle in another way and recieved the same result. First and formost the charge is wrong, the letter was not a government document because it was never owned by the government if the news reports are correct. The only charge would be forgery of the DA's name and that is a felony. Now they could have filled the correct charge gone to Court pled to a lesser charge as they do all the time and the DA's office would not have taken a hit like this. There are hundred's of nonviolent first time misdemeanor people who do not have 500.00 bail money in jail who would love to have a memo of understanding and go free if it's good for one person it's good for all. I wish Ms. Shaw no harm but the DA must be the same across the board.

Mayor Tom Leppert It Is This Bad!

Mayor, I know you went to City Hall thinking the job working with the Black Councilpersons and Community Leaders would be easy and why not, all of you want a better Dallas. You now know why Southern Dallas is so divided . You cannot get any three Black people to agree on anything. Names are given to you for Board appointments by diffrent black's without any background information or any qualification for the job. Board appointees need to bring something to the table. They do no good if they don't. I know you are having heart burn over this but chew some tums and move on. Stop asking for names find your own, check them out and bring new Blacks on board. Stop paying so much money for not so good advice.

Tarrant County Sheriff Department/ Jail Operation

I had the opportunity to visit Tarrant County Sheriff Department on Thursday and was given a short tour by former Dallas County Chief Deputy Bob Knowles the man known for Dallas County passing all jail inspections. Executive Chief Deputy Bob Knowles, looks very good, he's stopped smoking and doing well in his position with Sheriff Anderson. The people in the building are all so nice they smile the building is bright and open, clean and not filled with people hanging around. I saw equipment that took 5 minutes to fingerprint and take picture even the new eye picture machine.
The eye machine keeps people from leaving the jail by mistake. I ask Chief Knowles why Dallas did not have this, he said we(he and Sheriff Bowles)ask for it every year at budget time and were turned down by the Commissioners Court.
It is a shame that the Dallas County Commissioners Court has caused all this jail mess by not doing what was needed a long time ago. I know for a fact they took parts from the Health and Human Service fire alarm to fix the jail alarm for inspection when I was still working there. The Health and Human Service Building was without a fire alarm when this was done. That Jail alarm has not worked in years. The Commissioners Court is over Jail Health not the Sheriff. They are over the facility not the Sheriff.
It was good seeing Chief Knowles, Stromile is also working in Tarrant County. I did not see him but they said all is well with him also. Dallas County needs to learn from Tarrant County pay up front and you will not need to pay out all the lawsuits Dallas County is doing now. Former Commissioner Jim Jackson was one of the worst on funding for the Sheriff department he's gone but the problems he help create are still there.

Seven Day's Into New Year !

Seven day's into New Year and people are already being negative about one thing or another. I hope we can give the New Year a chance. One City of Dallas employee is mad about the City Attorney advice to the Mayor, that's who he works for! Former City Attorney and now Federal Judge Sam Lindsay was the only one that I knew that told the Council the Law and not what they wanted to hear. Judge Lindsay's answers were the same for everyone based on law. One City employee said Mayor Tom Leppert is turning into Laura Miller when will people give Laura Miller a rest. Mayor Leppert is doing his job and just maybe Laura was doing her . Black people my sisters and brothers in Christ give it a rest. Pick yourself up and make a life for your family.
Please for health reasons let the " blame the man" game go. We need to fix up our areas and make our neighborhood safe. There is so much work that we can do and take back our area.

Make 2008 the year we TAKE BACK OUR COMMUNITIES. Happy New Year!

DHA Audit !

My Friend Rufus Shaw

Rufus Shaw has been one person who has always spoke out on issues that most people would not say one word. Rufus knows a lot about a lot of things he has opinions about most things and they are just that Opinions. I respect Rufus because he is well educated and has spent time working for this community. However the development of Southern Dallas is more then just the DCC saying do it. As a former member of City Plan Commission I learned a lot about the problems on WHY the vast amount of land is not developed. The problem infrastructure. South Dallas has no or old infrastructure. Take the UNT campus on the school is tied into the neighborhood lines, there are no water lines on Houston School Road . All the streets and lights,water and etc. at American Airline center was paid for by the City. When developers try coming south the City says we have no infrastructure money so the people go other places. The City manager of past and City Council members did not fund in the South as they did in the North that's the whole story. So let's get busy and get a bond issue for the South Dallas infrastructure.

Cell phones on job !

I have gone to several places shopping and saw employees talking on their cell phones. Why do employers allow this? It is rude and unacceptable in public. I ask the young people to stop talking while waiting on me. They react with anger. Please
stop your employees from talking on cell phones on your time.

Cell phones on job!

Holiday Season

Happy Holiday Season to all readers of this blog. I have much to be thankful for. Last years at this time I was in Baylor hospital with surgery . Thanks be to God I am recovered and doing fine. I have been lazy about Blogging lately because there is so much going on and I have tried to stay focused on Dallas Housing Authority. Just a few things to mention:

1. Dallas Housing Authority is doing well and the Audit you saw on the news this week was the someone that made the news last year. We are in the process of correcting all problems at DHA.

2. Poor Commisoner John Wiley Price ,in the DMN saying" Ms. Lott would not have community support this time" poor angry old fellow he should have been at the Authority meeting Tuesday night the place was on overflow with people who support Ms. Lott.I knew when he was there last year that he was not for real he was there to join the crowd. Poor fellow has drop support for Ms. Lott because I am now on the Board and his hate for me is so strong. When one hates others it will destroy them.

3.Thanks DMN for high on areas that need fixing in Southern Dallas maybe you will get City services. The utility lines above ground has been a long time problem, I was told the resources went to North Dallas on new housing starts.

4. I have tried to get City service in the 4800 block of Spring across the street from the new housing being built by DHA. Councilwoman Ragsdale has also tried to get help, Chaney did nothing in that area because he is one of the bad property owners.

5.I support Dr. H at DISD but he has some major problems the people he hires maybe educated but they have no common sense. Why lie when you know the truth is written
and under freedom of information anyone can get it.Some of the problems are just common sense when looking for ghost employee for example: you have a budget with funded positions in each department all one needs to do is have each person pick up check with proper ID from Ross avenue on pay day. A ghost employee cannot pick up check.

6.Mary S. is a good city manager however I do not know why people get a bonus for doing the job they are paid to do with taxpayers money.

7. Dallas County Commissioners Court is spending money right and left for lawsuits
the Court is out of control.

8.After New Years!

Chief Brown goes to City Hall !

I am always happy to see a person move up and around in a government job because the more you learn the higher you can go. I am not sure if Mary knows what she has in Chief Brown as interim assistant City manager. Chief Brown is a very hard working City employee who worked to earn the respect that people have for him. He is no nonsense and treats everyone the same. He does not talk out of both sides of his mouth and it does not hurt that he is from Dallas, Texas.

Once upon a time and Sharon Boyd will remember this when the City, DISD and others were hiring their interoffice Black professional employee Dallas Black professional could not get the jobs. The powers that be during that time always wanted an imported Black. I have not figured that out just yet, sure was not because of smarts, the Federal government hired some but these other people could not see it.
Levi Davis was one of them he turned out to be very good, Richard Knight, Harry Jones and lots of others were good hires.

Back to Chief Brown Code enforcement will get cleaned up and working now under Brown in fact every department under his direction will become efficient I, had signed up to speak today at City Council about code enforcement but respect for Brown made me cancel I know my concern will be corrected. Congratulation Chief Brown and Happy Holiday to your lovely wife and beautiful daughter.

T.O. Thats My Boy ! Pray for the Sean Taylor

I attended the Dallas Cowboy game last Sunday and to see T.O. in person reminds me of the good old Cowboy days in the cotton bowl. The young man is BAD !

It is hard to be happy for your team when another team has lost such a young smart man. I am praying for the Taylor family.

The young college player shot down at Big T last week has just put me down. What are we going to do in our Communities to stop this madness. The Black on Black crime is taking our young men to the grave or jail.
We must stop this gun happy mentality. Someone needs to figure out what we need to do and we need to do it.

Councilwoman Vonciel Jones Hill ! Such A Flake!

I learn doing the City Council campaign just how deceitful Vonciel Jones Hill was. Prior to the campaign I had respect for her, didn't know much about her but what I knew was OK.
During the campaign I heard her tell lies and she knew they were lies one time at KHVN I ask her during the break how she as a Pastor could lie and sleep at night? Robert Ashly had ask her about her arrest in Atlanta she said she could not remember her charge, but she forgot I knew because we had been to the Dallas News and she told them.She just looked at me. Another time she fail to say she had worked for Dallas County and was fired by a group of Lawyers after she left the City. She had put on her literature she retired from the City but she knew she was fired and that was not the first time, she had been fired from the City before. I am saying this so you know why I write about her, I told her that I would keep the public informed every time she lied or tried to miss lead them. I'm keeping that promise.
Councilwoman Hill sent out a mailing at taxpayers expense on what she accomplished during her first 100 days in office. I will have the mailer posted so you can see it. The Councilwoman is paid $37,000.00 per year to work but she put
attending the Council Retreat as an accomplishment, attending budget meetings , committee assignment, River of Trade coalition, Urban League banquet, met with constituents, Congressional Black Caucus, Taught Court Education(was paid for that)
has nothing to do with City. Added two litter crews to budget big deal. The woman
thinks we are all crazy or she is that shallow that she does not know any better.
What ever the case it is sad for District 5.People getting killed, stores closing,vacant housed and drug houses ,18 wheelers driving up Redbird Lane and more and this woman has identified as an accomplishment speaking at J.L. Turner Legal Association of which she is a member. If she is not doing anything she should not use city postage to tell people about her Social Calander.

Trinity River Vote Is Over ! Let It Go !

The Trinity River campaign was the ugliest campaign since Strong Mayor. People took this vote so personal that it has created permanent enemies Oh how sad for Dallas. This was not a life or death issue. No one is dead today because of this vote. Dallas we must find a way to disagree and still come together. Council woman Hunt has been called demoniac and Mayor Tom Leppart has been called evil just because they believed different on a public works issue. Other Cities have this type contest and join together at the end of the night and announce their willingness to work for the good of the Citizen they represent , but not Dallas. We need a little more Love in our hearts. I hope some healing will come for the entire City. Mayor Leppart
is doing his job, like it or not.

Federal Attorney Want's to Hide Snitch's Names !

Call Federal Judge Laney's office and ask him not to grant the Federal Attorneys request to seal the names of the Snitches who help make the Government case in the City Hall scandle. I do not want the names sealed because some of them are Elected Officials and others are former Elected Officials while others want to become Elected Officials. The reason they turned evidence is because they were involved but to a lesser degree and made a deal. The fact remain they did some wrong also and should be punished. I know most of their names but the general public needs to have access to the list if they want to. Also if you attent the trial their name will come up from time to time.

Public Mailer say's Vonciel Jones

On the negro mailer Councilwoman Vonciel Hill has Vonciel Jones as her name if I remember correctly Ms. Hill signed a statement in the city Secretary Office saying her legal name was Vonciel Jones Hill all her campaign literature had Hill now she is Jones. What is wrong with her Hill name surely it could not be that the Hill name is now sullen and she wants to distance her self from Hill. Don Hill is a human and regardless to what the Government says he is innocent until proven guilty. One does not need to treat their friends so shabby. Ms. Hill needs to be careful because she has a license to protect and using a name that is not your legal name is not legal,unless since the election she got a divorce. How can people want something so bad that they sell their own Soul. Be thankful for who you are,what you have or God can take it at anytime.

Back To Vonciel Jones or Vonciel Jones Hill

Vonciel Jones Hill or Vonciel Jones

If you received the latest negro mailer from the vote No group it Say's We All agree!
Sad , again the professional campaign people who happen to be non minority know that the Black/Negro Officials seldom agree on anything, that is one reason we never get anything done so the new campaign slogan is WE ALL AGREE as if that means anything to the Black voters. Black voters are sick of the cross talk but they will respond to
what they believe is harmful to them. Black Leadership will use Laura Miller for most anything against another Black person but they are not telling Black that the same Laura Miller is on the Vote NO team. The Black Leadership have joined hands with Laura Miller to get the vote out. There is nothing wrong with their position but why keep it a secret from the public. It's time they stopped hiding .

What Is The District 5 Councilwoman's Name ?

When will DISD Board Learn ?

It just dawn on me this whole DISD residency issue is about the new Human Resource Director being an elected Official in Weatherford, Texas. The Board is willing to make it's own Taxpayers angry by changing the residency policy to accommodate a 183,000 a year employee who knew the policy was in place when she was hired. The people being hired in Dallas Schools are not in speciality fields. Human Resources is personnel management that is a job very easy to fill and the person hired was not an HR person she was military. Dr. H. should not play this card very hard because I support him but on this issue I can not. If you can not live in Dallas how can you have loyalty to Dallas? The employee in question does not bring enough to the table to split the Board. Some time the fight is not worth it.

Identity Thief Got Me Again !

Well they got me again, it's been 5 years since my checks were stolen from the Post Office. Now I find that my name and SS number is being used by person or persons unknown. I found out from a credit collector calling about an energy bill in the amount of $887.00 I had the burden of proof that it was not me and after sending seven different documents that I had to collect from various departments the collector stopped calling but it's still on my credit report, now I get another call
from another collection agency for another energy bill for $817.00 and a mail order
business claiming I owe them for a lot of clothes. They used a P.O. box to get the package in my name. I have no idea what else is out there in my name. I went to Desoto police and made report they went to address where energy service was received and the people are still there but they denied using my name and the police said it was nothing they could do because I could not prove they did it. Would someone please help me with this: The people who used the energy are still living at the address where energy was used, but because they said they did not use my name it's nothing I can do , but I have lived in my home for 21 years with TXU electric being my energy provided uninterrupted . I see why idenity thief is going so good for the thief, there is nothing being done to the people doing it. In my case all they needed to do was arrest the people at the house, they knew I did not live there, but
they did nothing. I must do all the work to prove I did not buy or use the service.I am the victim but all the work is on me.
I'M MAD AS HELL and I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE !

DISD / Residents Policy Needed !

What is wrong with people wanting to work and collect tax money from one group of Tax payers and take that money to pay another group of Taxpayers. Everyone who goes to work for DISD knows there is a resident policy if they want the job living in the District is part of the deal. Why would they accept the job and then start complaining about the policy. I pay tax to Dallas Schools , I have not had a child in Dallas school since 1980. I lived in Dallas but my child attended Richardson school. If an employee does not like Dallas to live then they should not earn Dallas money. Nothing is worst then a person who earns money from people they do not wish to live with. Dallas County has the policy and I lived by it for 20 years. The Board
should keep the policy in force. I do not know where Dr. Flores got the notion that the policy was for some diversity, all the black and brown people were living in Dallas at the time the policy was approved. It was about keeping Dallas tax money in Dallas and DISD employees being a part of the community.

Honest Black People Stay Strong !

Trinity River Park !

The Lakewood paper wrote a story on the Trinity and they ask the same question I have ask for the past year. I have read the Trinity Plan, Forward Dallas, The Balanced Vision and looked at the DVD given the Plan Commission, and I have yet to find a Park. I have ask City staff , Trinity staff and they all say Trinity Parkway.
In the last staff presentation I ask the new Director of the Trinity office how would people access the Trinity from downtown because ,I had notice no streets or roadway leading to what I though might be a park over between the levy, he said we have not figured that out yet. I think the Trinity Yes people think there is a Park planned for some place in the downtown area, I have not seen it in any plan. I have seen it on pictures of a park but not on design documents. The Trinity No people know there is no Park downtown, it's wet lands, natural growth areas and all sorts of
wild lands. You may sail a boat from one wet land to another but that is about it. I know you think I am crazy but ask someone to show you the Park on the regulation drawing at City Hall, not Parkway but Park.

What's Next ?

With the pending indictments , I wonder what the regular hard working Black citizens of Dallas will think and do. We have Faithfully supported our Officials and what they stood for. Some of you have gone against people you know are truthful and honest for ones that sell their Souls. I said many times this last group of City Officials were the worst I had seen in the 41 years I've been in and out of Dallas City Hall. I have been punished for saying the truth about people and issues that were not popular with the Black Leaders.
In Dallas and I can only speak of Dallas for the last 20 years, we have had every opportunity to build business, work for any corporation and live in the best communities in the world. Black people who wanted to be successful have been, Blacks have led every major government agency in Dallas County and no door has been shut. Blacks have been elected to every position in Dallas. At the present time the Black community should have no complaints about anything, we have Black Leadership in every branch of government and if they cannot get it done then we should find and elect people of any race to get it done.
In my heart I wish every person well as they go through this legal maze. I have been there not for Public Integrity but, been there and it is not a good feeling or position to be in. Public service is free, doing what is right is moral, harming your people through public action is bad. May Justice prevail. My prayer is for Black Dallas to hold your head high and not take the blame for what a few people have been charged with doing. Money and Power is the root to all Evil and that has not changed because the race of the people has.

False Alarm Fees ! / Water rate UP !

Since the Dallas City Council reverse the Verified Response ordinance I hope that the new money received from false alarms will now go to the Police department budget.
The money was lost last year so the City Manager was not counting it in her budget so Mayor Leppert please ask her to consider it.
I hope the people in District 5 saw that the water rate is going up by 7.7 % and not a Council member ask one question. Sewer going up .68.That is a 10% raise in tax. Oh
how they fool the public.

O.J. Sad Fellow !

I am one person who thinks O.J. is guilty. The Justice system in America work's and it's the only one we have. A jury said he was not guilty so no matter what I think he is a free man. According to the American Justice system should have all the rights of a free man. I never think about O.J. unless he's in the news . Sad Fellow!

Community People Do Community Things.

Ms. Foreman ask on this blog in her comment "why I was so involved in this DART board issue". I am a Community worked I am involved in most things that happen in this Community and have been for 41 years. As I said before I heard about what was going on and I had an opinion. I am an American and have the right to speak on any issue that I feel the need to. However I did not lobby against Ms. Foreman. I visited a Council woman I though was a friend and I wrote a note "saying Ms. Foreman used the race card to much", at that time I knew that Council person was a committed vote for Ms. Foreman and was not going to change ,I hoped she would speak with Ms. Foreman about over use of the race card. One thing that has hurt Black people in this City is the over use of the Race card. Other minorities do not cry Race every time an issue comes up. We need to stop it! I have served under 5 Mayors
and re-appointed to all Boards and Commissions and served until my 8 years expired.What the Dallas Morning news write about me does not matter because if you check the record it speaks for it self. When I need to get people corrected I use any means necessary and I never use the Race card. I use policy and procedures and I have never lost one yet. There is a right way and a not so right way. After some years you learn how. There were 8 Council persons coming back and 7 new ones , Ms Foreman should have had her 8 votes signed sealed and delivered before the new people ever got there. Nomination should have been signed by all old Council Members
that is the way the game is played.When you play and do not win it's no ones fault but your own. These are my last comments on this subject. I must move on to crime in the area.

Dr. H. Please ? DISD Budget Means Budget!

Dr. H. the next department or Director or employee that cause the DISD to make the Dallas Morning News in a negative manner should be fired. How on earth can a payroll department pay stipends to employees that are not approved and no money budgeted for it. How can a school Principle decide to pay an employee extra money without checking a budget, human resources,area Superintendent or someone and it's paid? There are all sorts of departments,directors,and managers at DISD on Ross but it's like money just walks out the door. Why stipends at all? A job description is written salary should include all extra duties and compensation should be adjusted accordingly at the beginning of school year. If money is not in budget it should not be paid. Payroll should check line item budget for each department before any money is spent. They only pay once a month so it should not be a problem. Dr. H . I know you are doing every thing humanly possible to correct the District and I support you. Keep up the good work it will change one day. It took years for the system to
become what it has ,so it will take a while to change it.

Sheriff Valdez

If I did not know better I would thing Sheriff Valdez was a new elected Official. all
of a sudden she is every where. In the past three years we could not see or hear from her but now that the Primary is a few months away she has come out of hiding. I know my people will vote for her because she is a Democrat. I hope the people with Loved ones in jail will remember how they are being treated and the $4.10 telephone charge to call home from jail.

Thanks Commissioner Dickey

Thanks Commissioner Dickey for the vote to freeze the tax rate for Seniors and the vote to reinstate the 69,000.00 tax exemption. Thanks to the other four Commissioners. Thanks Commissioner Price for voting no on removal of the exemption the first time.

Michael Vick Probation Is Enough !

I waited until now for my opinion on the Micheal Vick story. First, I have dogs who live in the house and some who live on the outside. I also am a Animal Cops fan. So I follow animal rules of treatment. From what I have read it seems Vick entered into
a business relationship with some friends from his past, he financed it, it had a name so it was not a hidden business. I am not sure if Vick lived on the property
that housed the kennel business. I believe that Vick did not know the laws as they pertained to the type of business he had entered. He should have hired an attorney and gotten legal advice prior to starting the business with his homeboys. Vick trusted his homeboys. First mistake: Dog fighting has been a sport for years I do not like it but it has been around and not much has been said or done about it. The fact now its Urban kids and people involved seem to have put it in the spot light and now everyone is concern. The very same people who think Vick should go to prison for watching or having a dog fight will sit in their homes and watch boxing until one man knock the other out which is temporary death. Vick admitted to killing some dogs, dogs are put to death daily here in Dallas it is not against any law to kill your own dog. Maybe the method of death sounds bad but I do not know how they put dogs to sleep at the animal shelter and I live in a State that still kill people and allow other people to sit and witness the death. Michael Vick is another young man who made his money and fame from a God given talent and was trust into the spotlight over night. Most of these new sports millionaires have not a clue about life in the fast lane and their families are so caught up in the fame that the person becomes God and they have a tendency not to tell then anything. They make very bad decisions
just because they do not know any better. I do not think watching a dog fight deserves a prison sentence. Vick did not from what I have read mistreated the dogs.The cruelty was the actually dog fight. Why should the taxpayers house Vick just to make a point. Probation which is given most first time offenders is just punishment. The public embarrassment is punishment enough and lost of playing in the NFL. Michael Vick should be treated like every one else in the same situation, clearly he is being treated different because he is Michael Vick. Count the people in prison in America for dog fighting the number is 0!

Dallas Morning News/ New City Manager

It was with amazement the DMN story on City of Dallas lack of ordinance on number of animals one can own within city limits. The Dallas Managed News now wants a new ordinance to limit numbers of animals one person has in his home. I think, but maybe I am wrong, there is such an ordinance on the books. I was on CPC when this issue came up back in the 90's so I know we talked about it. The managed News thinks the Michael Vick story calls for new animal control rules. How silly is that? The City of Dallas does not have enough staff for dogs running lose in neighborhoods today. There are Pitt bull dogs running free in Council Districts 4,5,7,8 and no one owns them so we need to start there first. The Southern sector has become the dumping ground for animals people do not want.They bring them from all parts of the city.
Another light bulb went off this morning, first page Metro Dear Laura:Thanks for doing your best. Since Laura Miller is going to be on the Trinity River campaign trail with Ron Kirk and Mayor Leppert the news is now selling how good she was. The whole part of the year before the Council race they said she was not so good and to make sure I did not win in District 5 they did story after story about me and her.
Every month they had me and Laura Miller in some kind of story even up to the run off election when poor James Ragland did that piece on the DHA board appointment
that was four months old. I told James he had been used to harm my election but, I do not write his pay check. A year ago no one could have told me the News set the agenda(OK go on laugh)I was in the mix and really did believe I was doing what was right for the people, the city for all the right reasons. Well now I see said the blind woman. Every subject the News reports on: the City, Schools and other Government agencies soon follow with adopting the news answer. If the News is going to run the City,schools and etc: we need to close City hall and let the new run the city from Belo building it would save the taxpayers lots of money.

So Funny !

People call me on the telephone about this blog but they will not write a public comment. I guess they do not want people to know they read it. It's OK I know lots of people read it from the hit counter. I am just happy to have an outlet to express
my opinion on what's happening in this world.

When You Hurt the Ones That Helped You !

I've watched the crazy going on behind the scene at City Hall surrounding the DART
Board appointment. The Ministers groups in Southern Dallas supported former City
Judge and Pastor Vonciel Hill for City Council District 5. It seem as if Councilwoman Hill dealt them a blow with her lobby effort for Joyce Foreman for the board seat . Councilwoman Hill nominated Joyce Foreman for reappointment to the board ,but the vicious way she lobbied for the vote for Ms. Foreman and
treatment of the other nominee was not God like. Dr. Christian was one of her strong supporters in the City Council race. Dr. Christian did not nominate himself and he had every right to serve. I think he is a fine man and has been very active in helping this community. He worked with Mayor Miller on some projects and good things happen. We need new people to serve on boards and commissions with new ideas. I hope Ms. Lynn Flint-Shaw becomes the Chair of the DART board.

Senior Tax Freeze ! One More Time.

I know and respect Commissioner Dickey. I am sure she was truly working on helping Senior with their tax. I think all Seniors will be pleased at the final results. Trust her.

DISD /Nepotism means Nepotism !

First, I support Michael Hinojosa 100%. When I said I would go down and work for him free I meant it, because he needs someone with common sense.Dr. H. has a staff of Educators and they must have spent all their working careers Reading education books and not experiencing life. Any person in this world working in the private sector or public for that matter knows nepotism means " in chain of command". The policy says relatives can not work for relatives. Mr. Bailey said "Mr.Viramontes is a hands off manager" what kind of madness is that, his wife is still in his chain of command .Mr. Bailey should read the policy. When Mr. Bailey gives Mrs Viramontes an assignment or has to discipline her , and she goes home and tell her husband while they sit at the dinner table or as they relax in bed, he will see why there is a nepotism policy. When other employee challenge Ms. Viramontes work and complain Mr. Bailey will wish he had not violated the policy. It's not about qualification it's about the problems that are caused by having relatives work in the same area on a job. As a former Director of a major Department in Dallas County I know first hand how the work place can be destroyed by these kinds of relationship.
Dr.Hinojosa has people working for him with very poor JUDGEMENT and then they try and justify it rather then correct it, making it worse.

Joyce Forman Is D.A.R.T. Board Train to Haven ?

I can not believe that Joyce Foreman , DART Board member could cause so much havoc and do so many evil things as people say she is doing and my information is credible, to be re-appointed to a free board well they do get paid 50.00 per meeting.
Mr. Foreman so I have been told had to ask to be nominated first because the Council person who nominated her in the past is no longer on the Council. From what I understand she has threaten Council members, promise to cause civil unrest at the Council meeting if she is not re-appointed and said she would bring SCLC down to City
Hall. I worked with SCLC back in the day when we were in the again REAL civil rights war that's been a long time ago, but I do not think SCLC can find a Civil Rights violation in the Dallas City Council members appointing a member to the DART board other the Joyce Foreman. Where is the Civil Rights' violation. Ms.Foreman did not have a lifetime appointment, her term is expiring , the Mayoral candidate she supported did not win the election, in the run off she did not support Mayor Leppart
so what on earth is wrong with her. I do not know her family but someone close to her should speak with her because her behavior if what I've been told is true is not healthy. I want her to be well and do well the DART board is not the train to HAVEN!

How Black Can Hillary Be ?

In 2007 how can or why would a Black Professional group ask How Black is Ms. Clinton
and is Barack Obama Black enough ? if a White group said Obama is not White enough Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and this group would be full Court calling for their heads. The National Association of Black Journalist meeting in Las Vegas posed these question to both candidates. This is America people and the President of the United States represents all the people. Black people have achieve so much success and yet the very people who should celebrate the success are the ones re inventing slavery. Why continue to celebrate the pass and relive each and every bad thing that happen. I am old enough to remember the days of segregation, and my days in the real movement not the make believe one.
I hear people talking about the Black vote and I see Politicians spending grand thief money to attract the Black vote, and the Black vote continue to stay home. Two Presidential candidates went to the Black Journalist convention to talk about problems effecting Black people.
Senator Clinton spoke on the millions of young Black men with out jobs, in jail and dropping out of high school, yet the Black Journalists did not question her on the plan to help, nor did they offer their plan or help, they are Black enough and should know why this is happening to their Black brothers.Instead they wanted to know how Black can she be. Hell from looking she can not be. What about the cause she spoke on. if something is not done there will be no more Black people at the rate we are killing each other, being locked up, drugs killing us and etc. I am so sick of this victim role Black people continue to accept as a condition ,if I could I would create a pill to cure them so we can get back to saving our children and communities.

DMN On / Split of 911 Center

Do Reporters come from Mars or Venus ? First of all the Dallas Morning New calls the 911 Call Center troubled, a few problem calls are not grounds to redo the entire call center concept. The News has reported on a problem or two in the past , but what does the Dallas Morning News reporters know about running a City , much less a call center. From the article not much: the Reporter said "a fallen tree in the roadway is a non police matter", That is the dumbest statement I ever heard, the very first car that comes upon that tree and hits it and all occupants killed because no Police was there to redirect traffic , the first outcry will be "Why were there no Police at the scene" until other City Services could arrive to remove tree or put up barricade. The call center handle 3.6 million calls each year and only three or four go wrong it's a very good call center with those numbers. Because a few employee do not perform well does not mean the system is broke, what it does mean is better pay and training should be implemented. Supervisors should listen to recorded calls and use for training.
One of the other calls was Mr.Lyles the caller said someone was trying to kill a child's mother, the 911 operator told Police someone was trying to harm the child's mother. What the HELL difference is harm or kill. HARM says it all. The dictionary say harm means : damage, hurt. Police should have gone code three to the location on first 911 call. The other calls simply went into rotation. The truth of the matter is we do not have enough Officers to answer all the calls. When John Ware sold 311
it was never said that 311 and 911 would be answered by the same people. 311 is non emergency and could put people on hold or have them leave message as I have done many times on 311. 911 should be priority with it's own set of Operators. If Chief Kunkle of Chief Brown says move 911 under Police then I am for that move, but I know
as a retired Manager that does not cost $600,000 and if this New City Council goes for that then we the Taxpayers are in big trouble. We currently have 140 call center operators, they have 23 in training ,so funded positions does not seem to be the problem. They fired a Call Center Supervisor because one of the not so busy employees documented each time he said hello or patted someone on the back. We are paying him $1.55 million dollars for wrongful termination and violation of his Civil Rights. We could hire Masterd Degreed operators with $1.55 million and hire 500 more Police Officers. Sgt. Paul Morris said there is no one in the 911 center that has a badge and gun to make a command decision.Do we need a certified Police Officer to sit in the call center when we do not have enough on the street to respond.
Here is my suggestion for free: N/C means no cost:

1.Have 311 Operators answer only 311 calls. Technology should make that possible
2.Cut hours for 311 complaints from 24 hours to 7AM until 11PM recorder will answer
after 11PM.N/C.
3.Leave call center at present location. N/C.
4.In Service training on language and words that have same meanings in different Cultures. N/C.
5.Publish handbook on Emergency and Non Emergency calls send to resident or post on web site: Postage

Please City Council do not put more money in a bucket that is already running over.

Why 20-City Vigil ? Talk With Artist !

Reverend Al Sharpton and Action Network's Decency Initiative sounds good but its a little late to stop something that has been going on over ten years. RAP music has been a source of language about Gun's, killings and all sort of other activities that have led to a decline in our Communities. My nephew was in the sixth grade at Longfellow and I was trying to teach him how to ride DART to school, he said to me "I need a gun to ride the bus" my first word was where did you get that from? He than sang the entire song. I could not believe it the words said "when you ride public transportation pack your heat" I could not believe my ears. Needless to say the first time he was caught at school with a gun he was still in sixth grade. He went to Juvenile at the end of sixth grade, three group homes at tax payers expense.TDC three time and is now awaiting to serve a long sentence in TDC for what else murder. I know this child lived RAP music . We took him to Doctor's the Juvenile sent him to therapeutic care.Nothing could undo what the early listening
to RAP music implanted in his mind.
RAP has done it's harm and still is but what can a one day protest do to a Billion dollar industry? Why not meet with the Young Black Men making the music ?

Council Police Squard

You are not going to believe this! I was sitting watching Judge Judy today so it had to have been after 4PM when my door bell ring. I looked out and there was a City of Dallas Code Enforcement truck parked on the curb and a young man with a dog pole standing at my door. I open the door and I said not again and he started laughing
and said his Supervisor sent him over today. I ask what was the problem he said lose dog. I invited him in and we walked to the back yard and again he went and looked at my dogs in the 1/3 acre enclosed cement bottom dog yard. I ask him how long could the City waste money coming out to my house and seeing the same thing. I share this with you because the animal control people are not coming out, who if the dog was out, it's their duty to catch and take to pound . The reason to me that there
is a shortage of man power in Code is because the staff is being used for non code enforcement duties. When will Mary Suhm fix this or do I need the Justice Department.
Clearly my Civil Rights are being violated.

Mayor Leppert told FBI Show UP or Shut UP !

Mayor wanted cloud removed from City Hall.Show could be getting ready to start.

Remember Wright Amendment Change and Low Fare !

When emotions were high and every one calling for the end to the Wright Amendment, I tried to tell you from what I knew from the inside that it was never about people or low fares. I tried to inform the public it was about cheap landing fees at Love Field city owned Airport. Landing fees at Love Field are the lowest in US in comparison. What the public did not want to hear was that Love Field has 32 gates. With the new so called improved Wright Amendment ,they will only have 24. A new terminal that was paid for will be demolished and no other gates will be allowed at Love Field. Guess who has the 24 gates? Southwest has 20, American has 2, continental has 2. When American moves flight it hurts DFW and Dallas citizen lose.
Will someone please tell me where all this competition to lower fares will fly from? I see that fares went up on Southwest not one fare was decreased after Wright change.
What has happen 32 flights have moved from DFW to Love and vendors are closing their stores and people are losing jobs. Revenue from those flights are gone. Told you so.

Is Sheriff Valdez Crazy ?

I worked for Dallas County 20 years and been retired three years. I went through budget hearing all 20, and never in the history of Dallas County has any Department Head or Elected Official ask for 500 new positions. The Lady got 260 positions just since she had been there more then Sheriff Bowles got in any year. The County increased tax last year and remember Parkland also increased tax last year because Jail Health is paid from their budget. Inmates in jail will now be getting better health care then uninsured working people. The Dallas Morning News keeps saying the increase to the budget is for a list of requirement by State and Federal officials. That is not true! Ask to see the list of requirements. There is a summary of things that are required by law, and that has not changed, then there is a list of things that could be improve or recommendations. The Federal recommendation deal with mostly the Health side .The Commissioners and Parkland agreed on implementing some of their recommendation such as hiring an out side Consultant to review the Health side. The $100,000.00 Consultant is not a requirement it's taxpayer money wasted. Would someone call the DMN and ask them to see the State and Federal requirements that has caused the Sheriff to ask for so much money, keeping the jail clean does not cost money, it requires supplies and labor she has plenty of labor. Parkland is doing it's part to correct UTMB's mess on the health side the Sheriff is not doing her part to correct the operation side of the jail.
Please people ,Sheriff Jim Bowles never failed a jail inspection. The last year UTMB
was written up on the TB screening and other health related items. The Commissioners Court and it seem the DMN wants to lay all of Sheriff Valdez problems on Bowles but
I was there it just ain't so people!

Trinity Vote-Southern Sector

Ms. Hunt will only need to say the Plan is the 2003 Mayor Laura Miller idea. She will win the Southern Sector. No need to pay anyone, just say Laura Miller and Black folk will vote against it.

Deputy Mayor Pro Tem

Deputy Mayor Pro Tem of District 4 has hit the ground running. He has identified problems in his district and doing something about it. Good job!

Thanks DA Watkins !

Thank you District Attorney Craig Watkins for speaking up. Thank you for not allowing $1.55 million dollar settlement , using Taxpayer money with no public explanation , City Attorney Tom Perkins put that monkey on your back. When there have been voting problems in City elections you could not get Perkins to Say a word.
You are right ! Big Business want the money from that road so bad they will do anything for it.They have a City Attorney let him or the City Secretary file a official complaint with your office. Who ever heard of the DA reviewing information
that he might need in a legal case later. STAY STRONG .
