Independent Journalism in Dallas Needs You
We need to raise $12,500 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
The early numbers are in, and so far on this chilly November eve, things aren’t looking good for the Angela Hunt TrinityVote gang.

Our Man Downtown Matt Pulle says Dallas County officials expect the next batch within the hour. –Robert Wilonsky
