The Mayor before Laura Miller was ablack Dem Ron Kirk and he actually ran for the Senate and lost, he had a businessman's vision for Dallas and turned some really bad parts of Big D into upscale condos and built the AAC. Miller shows up and we lose the Cotton Bowl and the Dallas Cowboys. We need Leppert and hopefully Dallas will become a powerhouse again.
Give Kirk some of the credit for that. He's the one that killed the Cotton Bowl renovations so he could concentrate on the Olympic bid. (He claimed all the venues would be within 50 miles of downtown. I guess the ocean racing would have taken place on White Rock Lake.)
And, of course, he blocked additional flights out of Love while his law firm was taking buckets of money from American Airlines.
That’s why I made the crack about him looking too white for Al Lipscomb voters.
