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.
