The Dallas Observer just came out with their annual “Best of Dallas” issue, and I’m very honored to have been selected “Best Councilmember 2009,” both by Observer staff and their readers:
The thing about Hunt is that she’s money in the bank. As Hunt begins her third two-year term on the council, we see her adding a whole lot of seasoning and steel to an already well-formed character as the smart maverick. She isn’t a member of a clique, but she gets along well with those who are. She knows when to hold ‘em, as she has on the Trinity River, but she knows the even harder thing—when to fold ‘em, as she did on approval of the bonds for the new convention hotel. She’d make a great mayor. She’s probably too smart to go for it, which is our loss.
I have tried very hard to parse my words and not be so blunt about it, but the fact is, the Mayor is lying about the convention center hotel.
The Mayor (along with Ron Natinsky) has told voters that without a hotel, the convention center itself is going to be a drain on Dallas taxpayers, costing taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars. That is simply not true. MORE….
