CITY COUNCIL DESERTION: If you're waiting for today's City of Dallas - City Hall City Council meeting to resume, it won't.
Office of Dallas Mayor Eric L. Johnson, Da Kween City Manager Kim Tolbert, & several councilmembers were chauffered in city vans to a FIFA World Cup match in Arlington!
Meanwhile residents who signed up to speak waited all day to address their elected officials.
Also postponed: A briefing on an expensive community survey and the upcoming city budget.
Apparently soccer was deemed more important than doing the job they're paid to do.
Credit where it's due: Bill Roth, Cara Mendelsohn, Kathy Stewart, Maxie Johnson, Paul Ridley, and even the "Deeply Unpopular" Gay Donnell Willis stayed behind and attempted to hear the speakers who took time off work, arranged childcare, and waited hours for their turn at the podium. But they couldn’t make quorum so the meeting is now cancelled.
Reminder: The clowns running Dallas hate you and you’re not mad enough!
