I have to admit I didn't do as much as I should have back when I was mayor, but now we're getting it done. It's not where you've been but where you're going.

From my very first day in the Mayor's office, I have worked closely with the Council members who share our vision of a city hall that really protects taxpayers and cares... yes... about the little things that make a big difference in people's lives.

It's wasteful spending like this that not only forces tax increases and cuts in vital services... but also really make you wonder: who is City Hall looking out for?

Some day the workers will take possession of your city hall, and when we do, no child will be sacrificed on the altar of profit!

Now it's time to focus on basics for people in our neighborhoods... and real ethics reform at City Hall.

Others like City Hall the old way, when they could make deals behind closed doors with your tax money.

In many ways, our campaign this year will be the same as last time: We're still going to focus on fixing up basics and cleaning up ethics at City Hall.

There's still is a status-quo group at City Hall who likes things done the old way, behind closed doors.

I wanted more people from my city to be able to have the kind of opportunity that I had.

In the year since we brought things into the open with a clean breath of fresh air at City Hall, we have learned about corrupt spending practices and unethical conflicts of interest that waste your money... and keep Dallas from being the great city of our dreams.
