Dallas In Dumps Over Landfill Audit. In addition to that controversy over the presentation of a master plan for the city’s solid waste disposal, an audit of the McCommas Bluff Landfill revealing that city may have lost around $1.1 million apparently also may have factored in to City Manager Mary Suhm’s decision to demote former sanitation director Mary Nix.

Aerial Spraying May Have Reduced Mosquito Population. Officials are saying the campaign may have cut the mosquito population by as much as 93 percent.

Doctor Shaves Head After Losing Bet.
