At the ribbon-cutting tonight for Dallas’ Main Street Garden, Mayor Tom Leppert said he wasn’t fazed or “surprised” by today’s news that GOP gubernatorial hopeful Kay Bailey Hutchison will remain in the U.S. Senate at least until next March. He also said it wouldn’t affect his future plans one way or the other–plans that Gromer Jeffers Jr. of the DMN reported today include considering a run for Hutchison’s Senate seat. “I told [Jeffers] that I’d look at things as they come up–as I always have in life,” Leppert said, downplaying The News‘ account. “That was much overdone.”
