To the Citizens of Dallas County...

Difficult financial times, traffic congestion, a lack of confidence in local government, and a crisis inleadership. As residents of Dallas County, we face all theserealities, and more.Here’s what I propose:

★

We need real

ethics reform

in Dallas County thatapplies to all elected county ofﬁcials.

★

Our county government needs to be

transparent

. We should put county transactions online so youknow where your tax dollars are going. And weneed to broadcast meetings over the web.

★

It’s time to be realistic about regional issues like

transportation

. If we don’t, your 20 minutecommute will become 53 minutes in the next 15 years.

★

We should encourage job

growth

in all areas of thecounty, especially the southern sector, and plan wisely for future growth.

★

We should provide more

educational andresearch

opportunities. Texas has only 3 tier-oneresearch institutions in the entire state, andnone of them are in Dallas County.The challenges before us are considerable, but notinsurmountable.I don’t have all the answers, but I’m informed,engaged and committed to ﬁnding real solutions.If you believe we need to put our county government back on the right track, I’d appreciate your support and vote for Dallas County Judge.
