I wish I could write like Jim Schutze with the Observer. He’s doing something with the Trinity tollway/park boondoggle that is amost impossible: He has written a story again this week that’s both entertaining and actually makes sense. I hate to keep bringing it up here over and over again, but it’s something that needs to be important to all of us who live in Dallas because so much money has already fallen into that sinkhole, and so much more is scheduled to go in, that we need to pay attention, if only to make sure that the potholes swallowing cars whole around our neighborhoods have at least a chance to drink some hot tar from time to time. Anyway, I’ve been impressed with Angela Hunt’s one-woman crusade to bring the whole thing to a vote (not to sack the road, just to shed some light on it in an election). I’m a realistic (some would say pessimistic) guy, but I’m starting to think that maybe — just maybe — there’s a chance Hunt’s petition drive to get 50,000 of us who live in Dallas to agree that we want to see the Tollroad project on the ballot.
