Dallas_City_HallThat’s the topic of my column in the May magazine. We’re not just looking at low turnouts in the city council elections set for May 11, but what could be record-low turnouts. That’s something for those of you who don’t vote to remember the next time your car gets whacked by a pot hole.

I can only write so much about this – the real work needs to be done by the voters, who can change city government any time they want.That we don’t want to change the people in charge, despite the foolishness, wasteful spending and what often seems like incompetence, says more about us than it does about the people running the city.
