Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
After soliciting a week's worth of feedback from the luminaries on Facebook, Mayor Mike Rawlings, heretofore uncommitted on the controversial Trinity Toll Road, will hold a press conference at City Hall tomorrow "to deliver significant development" and also to "give his perspective on the Trinity River Corridor Project including the Trinity River Tollway," according to a press release that landed in our box this morning.
In case you're worried he's going to launch into a lengthy tirade about what a boondoggle the whole thing is -- "I knew Schutze was right all along! Where is that bastard? I owe him an apology!" -- the News' Rudy Bush reports that Rawlings will be joined by some Loyal Friends of the Toll Road, including Dallas Citizens Council President Donna Halstead.
Hey Jim: Is the battery on your hat cam charged?
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.
