In light of the LGC news, let’s look at two quotes from the mayor. Here’s from the DMN today, regarding the Trinity park:
“You can’t build something this big or this quick with that sort of restraint on you. I’m just very excited about this. We’re going to get this park done. We’ve got the organization in place. Everybody wants the park. Let’s just kind of grab each other’s arms and let’s get it done.”
And then there’s this from the DMN, from back in 2014:
“I was having a meeting the other day, and people were telling me that my position has not been clear. And I was very offended about that because I thought I was always clear. But I want to make myself terrifically clear. … The more I get challenged on the parkway, and the more I study it, the firmer my feet get in the concrete about this being an important thing for the city of Dallas.”
What am I implying by juxtaposing these two quotes? Nothing. Not yet. I’m just thinking about them. As you should.
