| The race to become Dallas’ next police chief is heating up—and your voice could shape the outcome. Five finalists will appear at a public forum at Dallas City Hall on April 1 to answer questions and meet with residents. On the surface, it’s a chance for “community engagement.” But beneath the buzzwords, this meeting could decide whether Dallas doubles down on failed leadership or charts a new path for public safety. Among the finalists is Interim Chief Michael Igo, whose department is under investigation by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton for potentially violating immigration laws. While the official probe targets the Dallas Police Department, it raises serious questions about Igo’s role in the department’s refusal to cooperate with ICE—decisions made on his watch as interim chief. It’s a rare moment where the public gets a say before the city manager makes her final decision—and that decision will shape how our city handles crime, homelessness, and safety for years to come. We need watchdogs, not lapdogs. |
| Make your voice heard at the public meet-and-greet on April 1 from 6–7:30 PM at Dallas City Hall. Bring questions. Bring accountability. Let’s remind City Hall that Dallas residents are paying attention—and we demand a chief who puts the safety of our neighborhoods first. |

| Dallas Sues Local Designer Over… a TrashCan Logo? Dallas is spending your tax dollars to sue a local resident for making the city’s trash-can logo actually cool—something City Hall couldn’t manage in 50 years. And all this… over $10K in merch revenue. Even The Dallas Morning News couldn’t ignore how ridiculous this is. |
| Dallas Embraces AI—But Can’t Even Fix 311 The City of Dallas is jumping on the AI bandwagon, using tools like Grammarly for emails and exploring algorithms to identify trafficking victims and overdose risks. City Hall says it wants to be a national model. But 311 is still plagued by delays, lost reports, and zero follow-up. Let’s fix that first. |
| Teen Killed in Broad Daylight—Still No Answers Another teen was shot and killed in broad daylight, this time in Cedar Crest. He crashed into a fence after taking a bullet. No suspects, no answers. How many more kids have to die before this city gets serious about stopping the violence? |
Tracking Illegal Camps:
District 2, Councilman Jesse Moreno
“Coombs St Camp”
Just steps away from a produce warehouse, this patch of land on Coombs Street has turned into a cluttered encampment of tents, tarps, and trash. What should be a clean, functional part of the city’s industrial corridor is instead littered with signs of neglect. Councilman Jesse Moreno, when will you start treating this growing mess like the serious issue it is?
| District 6, Councilman Omar Narvaez “Regal Dump Underpass” Beneath the Regal Row overpass, heaps of junk, furniture, and debris have been crammed into the space like a makeshift landfill. There’s no tent—just layers of filth collecting in plain sight, sending a clear message that no one’s paying attention. Councilman Omar Narvaez, how long are you willing to let your district rot under its own bridges? |
District 14, Councilman Paul Ridley
“Lonely Tent Mess”
One lone, collapsed tent is tucked between the columns of this underpass. It might not look like much now, but these are the seeds of the next major encampment. Councilman Paul Ridley, how many of these warning signs are you going to ignore before the situation spirals out of control again?
