Reporters never disclosed where they heard this information. It originated from two places: participants at Eric’s birthday party and other politico types outside of Dallas CMs.

He IS running for AG despite the denial, and his CM opponents did not start the story, but they have been happy to share it.

Long column short: With AT&T, Comerica, the Stars and Mavs eying exits, with nearly 30% of the CBD's towers vacant, there’s no vision for downtown in 2025, just landowners concerned about their corners of the CBD and a city manager trying to stop the bleeding.

* Mavericks trade Luka and miraculously get first pick in draft
* Foreign-born Mavs owner helping destroy democracy
* Steve Balmer salary cap scandal
* NBA / Mafia gambling ring, which is top of the iceberg.

HEY, DALLAS! Let’s give away land to the Mavericks! Let’s spend more $ on the league/team!

The Mavericks are playing along with Dallas, but will not stay here. The city would literally have to give away land to get them to stay. Not happening. West’s eagerness to help any B_G real estate developer no matter the consequences is nauseating. He has no chance to be mayor.

We know all of the CMs get oodles of money from real estate. What drives staff to follow orders from this industry?

Dallas Observer also posted a story. A cynic would say all the CMs
are either on Team Ray W (tear down) or Team Ray H (arena on his land). B_G Real Estate is doing terrible things to downtown. www.dallasobserver.com/news/fix-or-...

That, plus the State Fair has a terrible history and their BOD is essentially an arm of Matthews SW and Hunt Realty with plans to push out the State Fair’s neighbors. thebarbedwire.com/2025/10/21/t...

4. An ugly bridge tailor-made for real estate developers. Another bridge that was unsafe for pedestrians and didn’t have enough money to complete the original design

5/ Convention Center whose costs are still unknown and whose political championed killed the I-345 tear down.

Instead of taking care of its assets, City of Dallas city staff and successive city councils have funded….

1. A park that was never built and a tollway no one wanted.

2. A city owned hotel that is rarely full and is in deep debt.

3. Attempts to lure Boeing and Amazon’s HQ. They used us.

Well, they did have a content partnership with Tass until 2022. It would be interesting to delve into the politics of David Thomson, the chair of the holding company.

A little more detail, please? Who is leading this presentation and Q&A? How is Matthews Southwest involved since they are the primary landowner around Fair Park? Is this really a marketing event disguised as community engagement? www.dallasnews.com/news/inside-...

If you’re a reporter cover tomorrow’s march thru downtown, you’ll find interesting stories by arriving hours early to observe and record the surveillance infrastructure being put in place. Walk the perimeter of downtown, watch the top of buildings, flightradar24 for aerial, and stingray vans.
