Dallas Morning News column - May 14, 2005
Since there is not "comment" section on ballots, it is left to us to decidewhat message voters were trying to send on election day. What do you thinkvoters in last week's local elections were trying to say?
In Dallas voters said that changing the roof will not repair the cracks in the foundation. The mayor has to recognize that politically expedient moves to garner more power can have a boomerang effect. On the other hand in Plano voters rose above parochial concerns and gave a ringing endorsement for a new arts hall in Collin County.

Sunday is, of course, Mother's Day. So ...What is the most timeless lesson your mother taught you?
My mom taught me that intelligence and maturity are not two sides of the same coin. Intelligence is a gift from God (and your parents) but maturity comes from experiencing the joys and sorrows of life and absorbing the lessons to improve yourself. What you lack in maturity you cannot make up in intelligence.

What do you think about the strong-mayor debate in Dallas? How do you thinkthe outcome of that debate will affect your community?
A strong mayor is not the panacea for the problems facing Dallas. Changing the structure will not change the color-tainted politics that is embarrassingly on display right now. Dallas needs good leaders capable of earning the trust and respect all city residents. Dallas can serve as an object lesson to Plano on things to avoid to secure harmony in the city.
