Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
It's been a little more than a year since ex-White House Counsel and so-close Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers returned to work at her old law firm, Locke Lord Bissell & Liddell on Ross Avenue. Haven't much heard from the former Dallas City Council member in a while; last we looked this morning, she was still telling a federal judge in D.C. she doesn't have to testify before the U.S. House Judiciary Committee about the firing of those nine U.S. attorneys last year. Besides, look, she's busy: Word today is that Miers is now "a lobbyist for the Embassy of Pakistan and the Pakistan Peoples Party." --Robert Wilonsky
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
