We'll have more tomorrow from this evening's final community budget forum held at White Rock Lake's Winfrey Point, but when the dust cleared after residents were given sets of 10 green and red dots to assign one each to items in the budget they hoped to keep (green) and ditch (red), the clear leader among the reds was the Trinity River Corridor Project.
Of course, Angela Hunt took no pleasure in this whatsoever or in the fact that the convention center hotel was offered up as a cut even though it's not a budget item.

Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
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.
