Not really. More like politics as usual in the election campaign
for Texas House District 102 (representing part of north Dallas and
part of Garland). Gromer Jeffers, in The Dallas Morning News,
says challenger Stefani Carter makes a "misleading
charge that state Rep. Carol Kent improperly took state housing
reimbursements."
After the jump, Jeffers explains why the charge is misleading. |

Have you ever thought that the traffic on US 75 couldn't get any
worse? Does the fact that the HOV lane has no entrance/exit for
Richardson bug you? How about those red light cameras? Did you ever
wonder if there are parking meters anywhere in Richardson and, if not,
why not?
After the jump, traffic news from around the state and beyond. |

The Health Department of the City of Richardson conducts
inspections of restaurants on a regular basis. The department publishes
the results for all to see. According to the city, "Scores are
based on a scale of zero to 100. A score of 90 to 100 is excellent; 80
to 89 is good; 70 to 79 is acceptable; and 60 to 69 is marginal."
It's rare for any restaurant to be scored below "acceptable." Most are good or even excellent. Many achieve a perfect 100
score.
After the jump, a list of under achievers. |

Arlington has its Cowboys Stadium, a billion dollar pleasure dome
funded in part by local sales tax. Allen will soon have its $59
million, 18,000 seat stadium for its high school, funded entirely by
ISD taxpayers. Garland has its $31 million, 7,000 seat Special Events
Center, funded by ISD taxpayers.
Richardson has new softball fields at Huffhines Park. One resident
calls the complex a Taj Mahal because the grounds were graded for
better drainage and the railings on the outfield fences are padded. A
softball field with pads - Richardson's own Taj Mahal. Once again, open
mike night at Richardson city council meetings doesn't let us down. |
