Dallas is in the process of making a decision about Fair Park that may be our last, best chance to get it right. … So, it is disappointing to see Dallas is one again poised to make a great blunder with Fair Park. The proposal presented by the Fair Park Texas Foundation to the city's Park and Recreation board on April 7 makes the "Future of Fair Park" look a lot like its past -- another regrettable waste of potential and taxpayer dollars -- where taxpayers foot the bill but don't share in the park's economic potential.
