This Saturday, June 16 is the Dallas Mayoral Runoff election. We have two choices:
Tom Leppert (Rep) - TSRA "A" Rated based on his questionairre answers, former executive at Turner Construction (a subsidiary of Turner Broadcasting)
Ed Oakley (Dem) - Did not return a questionairre. Three time City Councilman who recently was caught trying to steal a Dallas business that had existed since 1938. Oakley encouraged the business to accept a proposed rezoning that would have added restrictions that would have closed the business at that location and forced the family to sell. After the outrage became palpable at the city council meeting, he flipped and voted against the rezoning he had encouraged the property owner to consider.
Right now, the two candidates are neck and neck (Leppert 47%, Oakley 45% with a margin of error of 6%).
Current Mayor Laura Miller has joined Dallas to Mayor Bloomberg's anti-gun coalition as well as pushed legislation banning toy guns in the city and other idiocy. Who knows what she is doing behind the scenes to push that agenda via pension funds in companies, city contracts and related methods? We have a fairly clear choice here this Saturday, let's make sure the right guy gets elected.
