Clay Jenkins

Look, we all need editors. It's true.

The county judge says the middle class is getting hit hard.

As Tim alluded to yesterday, Dallas' handling of the Ebola crisis has just been put into perspective for a national audience, thanks to Bryan Burrough's thoroughly reported piece in the new Vanity Fair. Burrough's lengthy story puts a generally heroic shine on the response by local officials. And it offers a refreshingly frank, behind-the-scenes look at the actions of two powerful local politicians, both Democrats, who someday may aspire to higher office. My initial impression was that the piece portrays County Judge Clay Jenkins as some sort of steely Superman, while Mayor Mike Rawlings comes off as, well, considerably less effective.

Clay Jenkins' Obama Support, Chandler Parsons to the Mavs, David Brown's Union Push, and Fort Worth's Technology Problem.

I hope everyone in town cares, like, half as much as we do about transportation.
