Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Sorry, but one last bit of bookkeeping before I hit the nog: We've known for a while when Don Hill and the missus, former City Plan Commissioner D'Angelo Lee and two others found guilty in the federal City Hall corruption trial are being sentenced; we've had February 26 circled on our calendars for a while. But as you'll see in the doc below, District Judge Barbara M.G. Lynn yesterday issued a sentencing order for Brian and Cheryl Potashnik: After all the objections are made and motions are filed, the couple -- who pleaded guilty, with Brian taking the stand to testify against Hill in late July -- will be sentenced Friday, March 19 at 9 a.m. That's the day before the first day of spring.
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.
