Don Hill deserves justice
The sentence handed to Councilman Hill is clearly overkill if not plain shameful. If he had brought a pistol to the council chambers and cussed everybody out and then shot somebody, he would have gotten a similar sentence! The sentence he got is the kind usually reserved for folk who are a threat to public safety.
He did nothing but operate as Dallas politicians have always operated. It is rumored that his real crime was fighting against the North Dallas establishment and helping stop them from taking control of city council. His sentence is payback for fighting for the people – not that he’s a saint.
The people of Dallas should rise up and reverse this judicial order.
Tell It All,
Dallas
Don Hill got what he deserved
I am sorry, NDG, but Don Hill violated the public trust and broke the law without a care in the world about who was negatively impacted by his actions. The community should come together in condemnation of this behavior instead of attempting to minimize the severity of Mr. Hill’s breach of trust. And the sad puppy picture? That’s just pathetic.
There is not a (published) unique set of moral, ethical or legal rules for politicians based on their “exposure” to potentially corrupt activities and/or relationships. They are elected to serve the public, not themselves, they are there to do the right thing for many, not the expedient or financially beneficial for a few.
I’m disgusted.

Is Tommy Gonzalez a victim of racism?
As a long time resident of this city I have witnessed the record and biased by the Anglos of this city for the simple reason of who we are. Now the issues of the city manager (Tommy Gonzalez). He is supposed to be getting paid too much and they resent that because he is a Latino.
(Councilman) Joe Putnam even told me that Gonzalez has to go plus now he has convinced other council members to do the same even some blacks in the mix, so what do we have here, we have a city that has racism still fermenting in it’s veins directed at us Latinos that have become the largest minority and is the apex of what this city is all about.

Very disappointed Michael Basiden fans
Is this really true–are you serious!!! I listen to Michael Baisden’s Show every day on my ride home from work. IT JUST WIL NOT BE THE SAME!!
Could it be the deal Michael could not be made included him not being in a political forum and not speaking up to issues like he does so well? We finally get someone who inspires the African American viewers and others and this happens!! It never fails!! I am truly pissed!!!
