Show it to me: This mayoral race has been so personally nasty that it has become rather tedious. Mr. Dunning has not shown the voters anything beyond sound bites, video clips and carefully orchestrated advertising. I cannot tell you where Mr. Dunning stands on any issue because his campaign has been based on slinging mud and offal on a regular basis. Mr. Dunning has not told me how he will bring people together, how he will move the Southern sector into the 20th century economically or how he can and will change the city's services and infrastructure to handle the huge concerns of citizens throughout Dallas.

Mr. Dunning...show me what you've got! Where are your plans for any of the major economic issues facing Dallas? What are your plans to revitalize downtown? Can you vote on this or will you have to recuse yourself because of your large real estate holdings? What have you presented to leaders of the Southern sector of Dallas? I've not seen or heard a thing.

I'm confused, Mr. Dunning. How can you base your stewardship of a city upon such a weak foundation? I think I understand the reason why your campaign is so nasty...you either don't have a plan or your stand on major issues is so weak that it won't stand the light and scrutiny of the "great unwashed."

Don't sell us short, Mr. Dunning. Debate Ms. Miller on the issues, show us your plan and vision and you might achieve your major goal as stated...to bring people together. Show us what you've got! Time's a wastin', Mr. Dunning.

Steve Miller
