• At 3700 Ross Avenue Last Night, It Got Nasty. Then, It Got Even Worse.

  Jack Lowe, DISD school board president Blacks were hissing rudely at Hispanics. Hispanics were yelling at other Hispanics. And just about everyone was taunting distraught school board trustees, themselves appearing to teeter on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

Last night, the DISD's trustees voted to suspend next year’s elections and change their own terms from three years to four amid an endless chorus of catcalls

• Bill Brewer and the Battle for Farmers Branch

  Bill BrewerThis morning the Associated Press catches up with Dallas attorney Bill Brewer, who's leading the legal charge against Farmers Branch's efforts to keep illegal immigrants from renting apartments and houses in the suburb. Says Brewer, who was recruited into the battle in November 2006 by Adelfa Callejo, "Generating an antagonism between Anglos and Hispanics is not the way to go.

• What Summer Vacation?

  School's out for summer, but the Dallas Independent School District's board of trustees has one hellacious evening ahead of it, beginning with a 5 p.m. public hearing at 3700 Ross Avenue concerning the proposed 2009-'10 school year budget. After that's done, it's down to big business, some of which has been processed elsewhere, as in: The board will vote whether to give $2 million to Academic Success Program, and Lori Stahl's story today suggests that perhaps Superintendent Michael Hinojosa, who
