I would like to go on record officially endorsing all twelve propositions of the 2006 Dallas Bond Program, which will be on the ballot on November 7. In August, I attended a briefing with my City Councilman Ed Oakley, and I recently walked through the 100 page, itemized breakdown of the Projects By Proposition. Now,...
The sight has become all too familiar in recent months. One day you are sitting down for a meal with family. The next day you may be ordering drive thru. Maybe you are shopping at a local grocery store. Drive by a day later and the place is boarded up and out...

And to his right, Jean-Jacques Taylor has a column where he dishes...
I would think that by now, most of you know that neither major party, Republicans, nor Democrats, deserve the blind faith of African-American voters on Election Day. After decades of loyalty that black voters have shown the Democrats, there is little to show in the form of tangible progress provided...
Why was everyone so quick to jump on the T.O. Suicide Reports? Exactly why would this brother…(I LOVE ME SOME ME), decide to take his own life? Now anyone, can do anything, but it just didn't make sense from the jump. But if someone else said it, then it must...
Last night, on a national stage, the New Orleans Saints christened a refurbished Superdome with a 23-3 victory over Michael Vick and the Atlanta Falcons. The game is being hailed as a milestone in the rebuilding process of the Crescent City. A little over a year ago, the Superdome (along...
