Leppert Blasts Crow, Two Referenda

By |

Mayor Tom Leppert had scarcely been accused of making “negative personal attacks” against Harlan Crow–the leader of the forces against a city owned convention-center hotel–when darned if the mayor didn’t go and do it again. The anti-hotel effort is “being pushed by an individual who owns the Hilton Anatole, and it’s unfortunate,” Leppert proclaimed today, addressing DowntownDallas’ jam-packed, 50th Anniversary luncheon at the Hyatt Regency here. He also ripped a union proposal to curb developer incentives–both issues will be on the city ballot May 9–and said “the combination of these two referendums can’t go forward.” After the mayor talked, keynote speaker Catherine Crier scolded everybody for contributing to the economic meltdown, but said good things can come out of it, like growing vegetable gardens and moving back in with your parents. Yeah, meltdown!!!
