We had similar serendipity with the new shrine to the Dallas Cowboys. I will spare you the details, but the mayor, a Dr. Cluck (yes I know, funny name...) managed to steamroll through a proposal that removed Dallas from competition for the stadium, and use political fiat to condemn property for a commercial venture AND on top of that insult, has managed to tax Arlington homeowners for covering the bonds. Sure, they have a Super Bowl bid and maybe a Final Four, but how often do those kinds of things come along? So here's Arlington TX, which voted down mass transit, voted down more support for police, but in the meantime basically stole people's land to build Jerry Jones a new playhouse. And these are all "good conservatives". Like I said, just a power thing.Ellen Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02845981491726296767noreply@blogger.com
