“Flood Control Has Always Been First.”

So said Dallas city council member Dave Neumann, chair of the council’s Trinity River Corridor Project Committee, at today’s Trinity River levees press conference at City Hall about which Jim wrote earlier today. Last night, we provided a draft of Mayor Tom Leppert’s remarks, from which he seldom strayed; here, then, courtesy the city, are Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson and Neumann’s remarks offered today in the Flag Room. If only because, well, you paid for ’em, so you might as well get to see them for yourselves.
