Attorney friend of mine in the DFW area has told me that Dallas is doing its level best to become the Detroit of Texas.
Other than businesses moving to DFW and the strong local economy, he is pretty accurate.
I was referring more to the former Mayor/City Council members that were being investigated and facing indictments by the Feds for bribery, extortion and taking kick backs. This was a while back, but I'm told that the Feds pretty much had to stop at a certain point or the entire city council/City leadership would have been in jail. Sort of like...well...Detroit...and New Orleans, post-Katrina.
Plus the Dallas PD is having a serious recruiting problem. The Chief that was in charge when the 5 Dallas PD officers were shot was wildly unpopular. His only saving grace was that he green lighted killing the shooter. Then he retired very soon after.
