Is Dallas City Hall Plaza protected park land? That question may lead to a legal battle
“City Hall Plaza is not a commercial real estate commodity. It is a voter-funded public park & the preeminent public square for community assembly in Dallas.”
Texas Local Government Code 253.001(b): Prohibits the sale of any public square or park unless approved by a majority of Dallas voters at an election.

“They absolutely, disrespectfully, destroyed it. And it's shameful.”
“I'm looking at the big picture. I want to protect all public art, because it's important. Great cities have great public art, and to go in there and deface them, it's not right on any level. They should be embarrassed.”

When Texas was fertile ground for prison bands
"[T]he most moving lyrics are about loneliness, heartache and how incarceration strains families."
“The musicians skated around problems. The officers treated us better. Every song you did on the albums, you’d get $10 for writing it, and if you played at the rodeo, you got $5.”

Running on faith: The message powering James Talarico’s Democratic win
"There is an element of compassion that is entirely missed from this world of walls and razor wire and ICE raids we've seen in Minneapolis and across the country. We still need to see how this plays out in November, but I think this would resonate in border counties among Tejanos who have this rich Catholic tradition of social justice."
