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.
