Lynn Flint Shaw Out of District 5 Race

In Wednesday's DMN, Gromer Jeffers, Jr. lamented the fact that some of the air has been let out of the District 5 council race since Lynn Flint Shaw is no longer running (read story here).  I'd have to agree with Mr. Jeffers, I was really looking forward to some good old fashion politics in District 5.

Mrs. Shaw was one of the co-chairs for the 2006 Dallas Bond initiative.  After the success of the bond election, I felt like she would be a great candidate to represent District 5.  I'm sure Betty Culbreath and Vonciel Hill will keep it interesting in Mrs. Shaw's absence. 

By the way, Gromer Jeffers, Jr's. weekly political column in the Morning News is a must read.
