The city has to do what any citizen or family does, when you have a dream. You tighten your belt. You sacrifice some luxuries. Above all, you don't waste a dime.

We can't even tighten the belt. There's nothing left to tighten it around.

In the year since we brought things into the open with a clean breath of fresh air at City Hall, we have learned about corrupt spending practices and unethical conflicts of interest that waste your money... and keep Dallas from being the great city of our dreams.

Dallas is a great city, and it's worth fighting for.

We have cut to the bone and there's no place left to tighten the belt around.

Dallas is a positive, get-it done city.
