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.
