It marks a major step in the agency’s search for its next leader as it works to address regional challenges and strengthen relationships with member cities. The DART Board of Directors will hold a press conference following a special-called executive meeting scheduled for 3 p.m. Tuesday at DART headquarters in downtown Dallas. In a statement released ahead of the announcement, Board Chairman Randall Bryant said the board has selected a finalist and is completing the employment process before publicly identifying the candidate. “As Chairman, I committed to strengthening DART’s governance, securing sustainable funding, and preserving the agency’s future. Selecting a highly qualified leader is a critical step in delivering on that commitment,” he said. The board voted 9 to 6 last week to authorize negotiations with its top candidate , though the finalist’s identity was not officially released. The final three candidates include Nathaniel Ford Sr., chief executive officer of the Jacksonville Transportation Authority in Florida; Monica Téllez-Fowler, chief executive officer of the Central Ohio Transit Authority; and Dee Leggett, a former DART executive who currently works in the private transit sector. All three participated in a public meet-and-greet last week at DART’s headquarters. The CEO search comes at a pivotal time for DART. The agency has spent much of the past year navigating tensions with several member cities over service levels and funding. Earlier this year, nearly half of DART’s member cities considered placing their membership in the transit agency up for a public vote before reaching agreements aimed at improving service and accountability. Highland Park was the only city to actually leave the transit system after a public vote . Cities will have another opportunity to vote to leave DART in 2032, but DART is working through reforms aimed at improving service and addressing concerns from the member cities. DART leaders have repeatedly emphasized that rebuilding trust among stakeholders and unifying the agency’s member cities will be among the new CEO’s top priorities. “The future of DART right now is one that is evolving,” Bryant said during a recent press conference. “We are advancing a system that is frequent, reliable and more responsive to the diverse transit communities we serve.” The search follows the departure of former CEO Nadine Lee, who announced earlier this year that she would leave the agency after five years. Interim CEO David Leininger has overseen day-to-day operations during the national search process.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/dart-expected-to-announce-ceo-as-agency-looks-to-future/4052094/","source":"NBC5 DFW","author":"Alanna Quillen","publishDate":"2026-07-21T06:33:23.000Z","ingestedAt":"2026-07-21T13:00:57.906Z","category":"local","localScore":30,"priority":1,"image":"https://www.thedallas.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2022%2F09%2Ftlmd-dart-texas.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26%23038%3Bstrip%3Dall%26%23038%3Bfit%3D2980%2C1601","slug":"dart-expected-to-announce-ceo-as-agency-looks-to-future"},{"id":"n5tv31","title":"WNBA All-Star weekend clouded by injuries to Paige Bueckers and Angel Reese","excerpt":"It was a rough week for WNBA All-Stars heading into the game this weekend.

Paige Bueckers and Angel Reese both were injured Sunday. Bueckers had a rough collision with Nneka Ogwumike in the fourth quarter of Dallas’ game against Los Angeles. The second-year star guard won’t play Monday night against New York , but cleared concussion protocol, the team said. Reese’s knee buckled as she jump-stopped at the basket in a win over Chicago. She fell to the ground. Reese got up quickly, but went down again after a few seconds. She went back to the bench but didn’t return. The Dream are off now through the All-Star break, and Reese was voted a reserve for the team by the league’s coaches. Reese is leading the league with 11.8 rebounds per game and 14 double-doubles. She’s averaging 14.9 points. If either can’t play in the exhibition game in Chicago on Saturday, WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert will name a replacement. Kelsey Plum is another player who would potentially need an injury replacement, as she’s been out with a lower leg injury that’s sidelined her for nearly a month. Power poll rankings The Golden State Valkyries remained the No. 1 team in the power poll, increasing their winning streak to nine straight. Minnesota was second with Dallas, Las Vegas and Indiana next. Atlanta moved up to sixth, switching places with New York. Washington, Chicago and Portland followed the Liberty. Toronto was 11th and Los Angeles 12th. Connecticut climbed two places to 13th with Phoenix and Seattle rounding out the poll. Player of the week Caitlin Clark of Indiana was the AP player of the week. She averaged 25 points, 7.7 assists and 1.7 steals to help the Fever go 2-1 last week. Clark became the first person in league history to have a 40-plus point game to go along with 10 assists in a win over Seattle. Other players receiving votes included her teammate Kelsey Mitchell of Indiana, Olivia Miles of Minnesota, Allisha Gray of Atlanta and Gabby Williams of Golden State. Moving on Reese accepted Toronto coach Sandy Brondello’s apology for an inappropriate comment that led to Brondello’s suspension for a game. The WNBA suspended Brondello for one game for being overheard calling Reese a “protected species” during the Dream’s 111-92 win over the Tempo on Friday. “First, I appreciate Sandy’s apology, but I also appreciate the love and support that I’ve had for the last 48 hours,” Reese said before the Dream played the Chicago Sky on Sunday. “It has been very overwhelming with a lot of love and also other things. But I am grateful that the league did take action.” Brondello’s comment about Reese was picked up by the broadcast after Toronto player Nyara Sabally went down with an injury and was called for a foul following contact with Reese. Game of the week Las Vegas at Washington, Wednesday. The Aces finish off the first part of the season and a two-game road trip with a visit to Washington to face the Mystics.

After scoring just nine points in the third quarter — and trailing by 12 in the frame — New York responded with 24 points in the fourth to force overtime. Ionescu took over from there, making all five of her shots to give New York a 97-93 lead with 1:20 left. Arike Ogunbowale sank a 3-pointer to pull Dallas within 99-98 with 27.5 seconds left, and New York had a shot-clock violation at the other end to give the Wings another chance. Ogunbowale had a good look from close range, but her bank shot hit hard off the rim as time expired. Ogunbowale scored 29 points for Dallas (17-9), which had a franchise-record six-game winning streak halted. Jessica Shepard secured her 17th double-double of the season with 13 points and 16 rebounds to tie Atlanta’s Angel Reese for the league lead. Dallas was without star Paige Bueckers after she hit her head on the floor late in a 90-82 victory over the Los Angeles Sparks on Sunday. Bueckers isn’t in the concussion protocol, but the team said last season’s Rookie of the Year was still feeling sore. Jonquel Jones finished with 14 points and 10 rebounds for New York (14-12). Marine Fauthoux had 10 points and 10 boards. The game was rescheduled from Thursday night after the Liberty’s charter flight had mechanical issues. Up next Liberty: Host Chicago on Wednesday.

During a meeting with Dallas Weekly and other local media at City Hall last week, City Manager Kimberly Tolbert defended the decision, saying the furloughs are intended to avoid layoffs while preserving essential city services. She also addressed questions surrounding consultant spending, homelessness funding, Proposition U, communication with City Council and the city’s long-term financial outlook. “We are trying to balance the budget without laying people off,” Tolbert said. “That has always been our priority.” “We are trying to balance the budget without laying people off,” Tolbert said. “That has always been our priority.” Why furloughs? According to Tolbert, the city faced limited options after revenue projections fell short of expectations while expenditures continued to climb. “This is not something we wanted to do. But we also wanted to avoid layoffs.” Dallas City Manager Kim Tolbert She said mandatory furloughs offered an alternative to workforce reductions that would have permanently eliminated positions and disrupted city services. Rather than asking a smaller group of employees to absorb layoffs, Tolbert said city leadership believed spreading the impact across eligible employees would preserve staffing levels and allow departments to continue operating. “This is not something we wanted to do,” she said. “But we also wanted to avoid layoffs.” Tolbert emphasized that essential public safety personnel, including police officers and firefighters, are exempt from the furlough plan because of staffing requirements established under Proposition U and existing public safety needs. She acknowledged that the timing has been difficult for employees, many of whom had already planned vacations or other personal obligations. “We understand this affects families,” Tolbert said, adding that city leaders attempted to provide as much notice and scheduling flexibility as possible. She also stressed that residents should not expect widespread disruptions to city services, including permitting and other public-facing operations, because departments have been instructed to stagger furlough schedules. Revenue growth slows as expenses increase Tolbert attributed much of the budget pressure to slowing sales tax growth, one of the city’s largest revenue sources. Following years of unusually strong post-pandemic collections, she said Dallas has returned to more modest revenue growth while continuing to experience inflationary pressures and rising operational costs. At the same time, the city has absorbed new financial obligations, including public safety staffing requirements approved by voters through Proposition U. Tolbert said city officials regularly update revenue forecasts throughout the year but acknowledged that economic conditions have shifted more quickly than anticipated. “The economy is changing,” she said. “Sales tax is not growing at the pace that it had been.” She said city leaders continue monitoring economic indicators while identifying additional savings to balance the budget without reducing core services. Questions over consultant spending Another point of criticism has centered on consultant contracts, particularly reports that approximately $3 million has been spent studying the future of Dallas City Hall. Tolbert said that figure reflects years of work involving multiple firms conducting engineering, environmental, architectural and financial analyses rather than a single consulting agreement. She argued those studies were necessary because of the age and condition of the current City Hall building and to evaluate multiple long-term options before recommending a course of action. “You have to do the due diligence,” Tolbert said, explaining that large capital decisions require extensive professional analysis before taxpayer dollars are committed. She added that outside consultants are commonly used on projects requiring specialized expertise that city staff do not maintain in-house. Whether the city ultimately renovates, replaces or relocates City Hall remains under discussion, but Tolbert said gathering accurate information upfront helps avoid more costly mistakes later. Homelessness funding shifts toward community partners Questions have also emerged over changes to homelessness and housing funding after residents noticed adjustments within the proposed budget. Tolbert said the city is not abandoning homelessness programs but is instead directing more resources through nonprofit organizations that already provide services on the ground. Organizations such as The Stewpot and Austin Street Center have long worked directly with people experiencing homelessness, she said, making them well positioned to deliver services efficiently. Rather than expanding city-run programs, Dallas plans to continue investing in organizations with established infrastructure and community relationships. Tolbert said funding decisions are based on established procurement and evaluation processes designed to measure an organization’s capacity, performance and ability to meet specific service goals. She said contracts include accountability measures intended to ensure taxpayer dollars are used effectively. “The city doesn’t do homelessness alone,” Tolbert said. “We work with community partners.” Addressing concerns over City Council communication The rollout of the furlough announcement also prompted questions from some members of the Dallas City Council. District 7 Council Member Adam Bazaldua publicly criticized the process, saying he learned of the decision through media correspondence rather than direct communication from city leadership. Tolbert acknowledged that the compressed timeline surrounding budget decisions created communication challenges but said her office has continued working with council members throughout the budget process. “We’re having conversations every day,” she said, noting that discussions about the city’s financial outlook have been ongoing for months through budget workshops and individual briefings. She declined to characterize private conversations with council members but said disagreement is a normal part of governing a city the size of Dallas. “I expect there to be different opinions,” Tolbert said. “Our job is to present the information and work through those decisions together.” Proposition U adds pressure but is not the sole cause Since the furlough announcement, some residents have questioned whether Proposition U, the voter approved charter amendment requiring increased police staffing and dedicated public safety funding, is responsible for the city’s financial challenges. Tolbert said the answer is more nuanced. She acknowledged that Proposition U created new spending obligations that reduced the city’s budget flexibility, but emphasized it is only one factor among several affecting the current budget. Slowing sales tax collections, inflation, contractual obligations and rising operational expenses have all contributed to the shortfall, she said. “There’s not one thing that caused this,” Tolbert said. “It’s a combination of factors.” She added that city staff continue evaluating ways to meet the charter requirements while balancing investments across other city departments. Capital projects are funded differently than daily operations Another recurring question from residents has centered on visible city investments, including new parks and infrastructure improvements, at the same time employees are being furloughed. Tolbert said those projects often rely on funding sources that cannot legally be redirected to cover payroll or operating expenses. Capital improvement projects are frequently financed through voter approved bond programs, grants or other restricted funding sources designated for specific purposes. Those dollars, she said, cannot simply be transferred into the city’s general operating fund to eliminate a budget gap. Similarly, Tolbert said the city’s review of recreation centers and other park facilities reflects broader conversations about long-term operational efficiency rather than a lack of appreciation for neighborhood amenities. She emphasized that parks and recreation centers remain valuable community assets and said city leaders recognize the role they play in neighborhoods across Dallas. No taxpayer funding for foreign corporations Tolbert also addressed questions about whether local tax dollars are being directed toward international corporations or foreign alliances. She said the city’s budget is focused on delivering municipal services to Dallas residents and that procurement policies require contracts to meet established legal and competitive standards. While companies headquartered outside Texas or even outside the United States may compete for contracts under certain circumstances, she said the city does not maintain a budget category that sends taxpayer money to foreign governments or international alliances. Instead, expenditures are tied to city services, infrastructure, professional expertise and projects approved through Dallas’ procurement process. Looking beyond this budget cycle Although the current budget has drawn increased public scrutiny, Tolbert said she remains confident the city can strengthen its long-term financial position. She pointed to more conservative revenue forecasting, continued monitoring of expenditures and ongoing evaluations of departmental spending as steps designed to improve future budget planning. She also said city leaders remain committed to preserving essential services while preparing for future opportunities, including major economic development projects and large-scale events. “We’re going to continue making adjustments as we move through the budget process,” Tolbert said. For residents frustrated by the furloughs, Tolbert acknowledged the difficult decisions facing City Hall but maintained that the city’s objective is to avoid deeper workforce reductions while keeping Dallas financially stable. As the City Council continues debating the proposed budget in the coming weeks, those conversations will determine not only how Dallas closes its current shortfall, but also how the city balances growth, public services and taxpayer expectations in the years ahead.

Southern Dallas Progress Community Development Corporation (CDC) wants to change that conversation by focusing on what residents can build. From financial education and entrepreneurship to homeownership and neighborhood revitalization, the nonprofit has adopted a simple philosophy: lasting community change begins when residents own a stake in the future of their own neighborhoods. That philosophy is perhaps best illustrated not in a mission statement, but on the streets of Dallas’ historic Tenth Street Historic District , where the organization is helping bring new and restored homes to market for local families. “It’s about controlling your own destiny,” said J. RaShad Thomas , a real estate broker, developer and longtime partner of Southern Dallas Progress CDC. “If we invest in our own communities, we can continue to control what they become instead of watching someone else do it for us.” While many organizations focus on a single issue, Southern Dallas Progress CDC views neighborhood revitalization as an interconnected system. Housing. Small business. Financial literacy. Banking access. Entrepreneurship. Education. Each depends on the others. Program Director Stacy Davis says the organization intentionally works across those areas because strengthening one without the others rarely creates lasting change. “If you don’t have a home, you don’t have generational wealth,” Davis said. “Property taxes support our schools, our streets, our hospitals—it all connects.” The organization regularly connects aspiring homeowners and entrepreneurs with lenders, financial institutions and business advisors capable of moving people beyond ideas and into action. “We don’t just point people toward resources,” Davis said. “We put trusted partners in the room together.” For Southern Dallas Progress CDC, helping families purchase homes isn’t simply about increasing ownership rates. It’s an economic development strategy. According to the organization, roughly 42% of people of color in Southern Dallas are not homeowners , limiting opportunities to build generational wealth and long-term financial stability. Thomas believes many families still view housing primarily as shelter rather than one of the largest investments they’ll ever make. “When you leave an apartment, you leave with your clothes,” Thomas said. “The landlord keeps the investment. When you own your home, you’re building equity for yourself.” That equity, he argues, becomes the foundation for everything else—from opening businesses to financing college educations and passing wealth to future generations. The organization’s work in the Tenth Street Historic District represents that philosophy in action. One of Dallas’ oldest historically Black neighborhoods and one of the city’s few remaining Freedman’s Towns, Tenth Street has long faced challenges ranging from disinvestment to redevelopment pressure. Rather than allowing longtime residents to be displaced, Southern Dallas Progress CDC is working to create opportunities for families to purchase homes within the historic neighborhood, helping preserve both its history and its future. Marketing materials provided by the organization showcase newly constructed and renovated homes currently available in the district, including properties on Church Street and North Cliff Street , demonstrating how the CDC’s work extends beyond advocacy into tangible neighborhood investment. For Davis, those homes are more than real estate listings. “They’re proof that revitalization doesn’t have to mean displacement,” she said. A link to current Tenth St. properties is listed below Mixed-use development: A mixed-use development featuring residential housing, retail and pedestrian-friendly design, representing the type of neighborhood planning encouraged under PD595.

Thomas describes the organization’s vision with an unusual phrase. “We have to compete for the glow up.” By that, he means Southern Dallas residents should become investors in their own neighborhoods before outside investment makes those communities unaffordable. “If we participate and invest in our own cities, we can still have control of our city rather than someone else buying it and pricing us out,” he said, pointing to redevelopment in other Dallas neighborhoods as a cautionary example. The organization also continues working with financial institutions to demonstrate that Southern Dallas is a viable market for investment. According to Davis, those efforts have helped attract banks including Truist, Frost, Cornerstone and Vista Bank, creating additional opportunities for lending, entrepreneurship and neighborhood growth. That broader mission will be on display during Southern Dallas Progress CDC’s Homeownership Fair , scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 1, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the J. Erik Jonsson Central Library . The free event will connect prospective buyers with more than 30 lenders and housing professionals while providing education on budgeting, credit, mortgage preparation and down payment assistance programs that can provide qualified buyers with as much as $50,000 toward purchasing a home. For Southern Dallas Progress CDC, however, the fair is only one piece of a much larger effort. The real measure of success isn’t attendance. It’s seeing more families become homeowners, more entrepreneurs open businesses and more longtime residents remain in the neighborhoods they’ve helped build. As Southern Dallas continues to attract new investment, the organization hopes its work ensures that the people who have long called the community home are not merely witnesses to its transformation—but beneficiaries of it.

Rising home prices, misconceptions about the mortgage process and uncertainty over financing have left many prospective buyers believing they simply cannot afford to own a home. Leaders at Southern Dallas Progress Community Development Corporation (CDC) say that’s exactly the mindset they hope to change. On Saturday, Aug. 1, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the J. Erik Jonsson Central Library , the nonprofit will host its annual Homeownership Fair , bringing together more than 30 lending institutions, housing professionals and financial experts to help first-time buyers understand the path to homeownership and connect with resources that can make purchasing a home possible. “We want people to understand that a ‘no’ today doesn’t mean ‘never,'” said Stacy Davis , Program Director for Southern Dallas Progress CDC. “It simply means ‘not yet.'” The organization’s mission extends well beyond helping people purchase houses. Southern Dallas Progress CDC works to strengthen neighborhoods through homeownership, entrepreneurship, financial education and economic development, viewing each as an essential piece of a healthier community. According to Davis, approximately 42% of people of color in Southern Dallas do not own their homes , limiting opportunities to build wealth that can be passed to future generations. “Housing impacts everything,” Davis said during an interview with The Dallas Weekly . “It impacts our schools through property taxes. It impacts our streets, our hospitals and the overall health of our neighborhoods.” For J. RaShad Thomas , a real estate broker, developer and the event’s host, homeownership should be viewed as an investment rather than simply a place to live. “It’s not just about living in a house,” Thomas said. “You’re investing in something you can actually live in while it grows in value. When you leave an apartment, the landlord keeps the investment. When you own a home, you’re building equity for yourself.” Thomas said homeowners in the Dallas-Fort Worth market can potentially build tens of thousands of dollars in equity over several years—wealth that renting simply cannot provide. One of the biggest obstacles, organizers say, isn’t necessarily income.It’s confidence.Many potential buyers hear “no” from one lender and assume the dream is over. The Homeownership Fair is designed to change that by placing attendees face-to-face with dozens of lending institutions and housing professionals, allowing them to explore multiple financing options while receiving personalized guidance. “We connect trusted partners with trusted borrowers,” Thomas said. “Every lender has different programs. Just because one says no doesn’t mean another won’t have the right product for you.” Organizers also hope to overcome long-standing mistrust of financial institutions within many communities by introducing prospective buyers to lenders committed to serving Southern Dallas. Among the event’s biggest attractions will be information about down payment assistance programs , which organizers say can provide qualified buyers with between $20,000 and $50,000 toward purchasing a home. Thomas emphasized that these programs are legitimate but require preparation. “The money is real,” he said. “People are receiving $20,000, $30,000, even $50,000 in down payment assistance. But your debt-to-income ratio and your credit profile have to be where they need to be. Preparation is everything.” Attendees will also receive guidance on budgeting, improving credit scores and creating realistic financial plans. According to Thomas, nearly 68% of Americans operate without a working budget , making financial discipline one of the biggest barriers to homeownership. “We don’t want people to become house poor,” he said. “Sometimes it’s about delayed gratification. Buy the house before you buy the luxury car.” Beyond individual homeowners, Southern Dallas Progress CDC sees homeownership as a catalyst for neighborhood revitalization. The organization believes stronger homeownership rates can attract grocery stores, banks, entrepreneurs and other investments while helping longtime residents remain in the communities they’ve helped build. Rather than watching redevelopment lead to displacement, Thomas hopes residents become active participants in Southern Dallas’ growth. “We have to compete for the glow up,” he said. “If we invest in our own communities, we can control our future instead of being priced out of it.” Davis added that Southern Dallas has already begun attracting financial institutions by demonstrating the area’s economic strength, with banks such as Truist, Frost, Cornerstone and Vista expanding their presence in the community.

CDFI certification is awarded to mission-driven financial institutions dedicated to expanding economic opportunities in underserved communities. As a certified CDFI, Impact Ventures joins a national network of organizations working to ensure entrepreneurs, small businesses, and communities have equitable access to the capital and financial resources needed to thrive. Founded in 2016, Impact Ventures has spent nearly a decade supporting entrepreneurs through business acceleration, technical assistance, ecosystem building, and innovative funding solutions. The certification strengthens the organization’s ability to deploy capital at scale and deepen its impact across North Texas and beyond. “We didn’t set out to become a CDFI,” said Benjamin J. Vann, Founder and CEO of Impact Ventures. “We set out to solve a problem. Too many talented entrepreneurs with strong ideas, strong character, and strong potential were being overlooked by traditional systems. This certification validates the work we’ve been doing for years and creates newopportunities to help founders access the capital they need to grow, create jobs, and build generational wealth.” Since 2022, Impact Ventures has deployed more than $2 million in capital to entrepreneurs. Through its new CDFI designation and lending and investment platform IV Community Capital, the organization has set a long-term goal of deploying $50 million to $100 million in mission-driven capital to Texas-based entrepreneurs over the next decade—expanding access to affordable financing, fueling business growth, and creating jobs in communities that have historically been underserved. The certification comes at a pivotal moment as Texas continues to lead the nation in economic growth, business formation, and investment. From the emergence of the Texas Stock Exchange (TXSE) to record levels of corporate expansion, the state’s economy is entering a new era of opportunity. Impact Ventures believes that this momentum should extend beyond Wall Street to “Y’all Street”—ensuring that the small businesses and entrepreneurs powering local communities have access to the capital they need to grow alongside Texas’ economy. “As a CDFI, we’re not just expanding our lending capacity,” Vann added. “We’re helping redefine what access to capital can look like. We believe entrepreneurs deserve financial partners who see their potential, understand their realities, and invest in their success.” The designation positions Impact Ventures to pursue additional funding opportunities, attract new capital partners, and increase the amount of capital deployed to small businesses throughout the region. Entrepreneurs can expect expanded access to financing, enhanced capital readiness support, and new opportunities designed to help businesses start, grow, and scale sustainably. “This certification is not the finish line,” said Vann. “It’s the beginning of our next chapter.” About Impact Ventures: Impact Ventures is a Dallas-based 501c3 nonprofit organization and certified Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) dedicated to unlocking social and financial capital for underestimated entrepreneurs. Through business acceleration, ecosystem building, lending, and investment solutions, Impact Ventures helps entrepreneurs build sustainable businesses, create jobs, and generate lasting community wealth.

The outreach comes as Democrats seek to build support among one of the party’s most reliable voting blocs while challenging Republican nominee Ken Paxton. Public polling from the Texas Politics Project suggests Talarico has gained notable support among Black voters early in the general election campaign, with 67% of Black voters surveyed backing his candidacy, a higher share than previous Democratic Senate nominees recorded at similar stages of their campaigns. The following is a look at Talarico’s public engagement with Black communities throughout the campaign this spring and summer thus far. March: Community meetings begin across Texas Talarico’s outreach included direct engagement with Black clergy, elected officials and community advocates early in the campaign. On March 15, he visited Mt. Zion Baptist Church before participating in a Black Leaders Brunch in the Dallas-Fort Worth area on March 20. The campaign described the gathering as an opportunity to hear concerns from Black civic leaders and discuss priorities ahead of the general election. Around the same time, Talarico also organized volunteer efforts in Sand Branch , a historically Black community in Dallas County that has long struggled without reliable running water. Campaign volunteers delivered bottled water to residents during the Democratic primary. April: Faith communities and HBCUs become campaign stops April featured a series of appearances centered on faith and higher education. Talarico visited Wesley United Methodist Church on April 5 before meeting with Black leaders in Houston on April 14 and Austin on April 23. He also traveled to Prairie View A&M University, where he participated in a moderated discussion with students, answered audience questions and met privately with university President Dr. Tomikia P. LeGrande. The campaign also noted meetings with nationally recognized civil rights figures, including Dr. Opal Lee, often called the “Grandmother of Juneteenth,” and attendance at the homegoing service for the Rev. Jesse Jackson at the invitation of Jackson’s family. May: Paul Quinn commencement and Dallas County Convention One of Talarico’s most visible appearances in the Black community came May 2 when he delivered the commencement address at Paul Quinn College in Dallas. Addressing graduates, Talarico spoke about faith, service and civic responsibility while praising Paul Quinn President Dr. Michael Sorrell’s leadership and the college’s historic mission. Following the ceremony, he met with graduates and spoke one-on-one with Sorrell. Later, Talarico served as keynote speaker at the Dallas County Democratic Convention, where he also met with Pastor Freddie Haynes, who is seeking the congressional seat previously held by Rep. Jasmine Crockett. Summer outreach expands through conversations and local organizing As the campaign entered the summer months, Talarico continued holding smaller community discussions across North Texas. He participated in a Southern Dallas Community Conversation at Luby’s, where Black pastors, educators, activists and community leaders gathered for a discussion on issues facing Texas communities. In DeSoto, Talarico joined a block walk supporting Dallas County Clerk candidate Damarcus Offord. The two candidates publicly endorsed one another while encouraging voter turnout ahead of November. Black media becomes a key campaign platform Alongside in-person events, Talarico has increasingly appeared in Black-owned media outlets throughout Texas and nationally. His interviews have included conversations with Dallas Weekly, iMessenger, 93.7 The Beat in Houston , Roland Martin, TheGrio , The Tashara Parker Show , Jerri P. Beasley and Ron Jackson’s Jackson Political Report . In an exclusive with TheGrio, Talarico unveiled a maternal mortality policy proposal focused on improving maternal healthcare, an issue that disproportionately affects Black women in Texas. Coverage by Houston Forward Times highlighted the campaign’s efforts to begin engaging Black audiences months before early voting, while opinion writers and commentators have pointed to the campaign’s emphasis on face-to-face conversations rather than traditional campaign appearances. Community organizations and public endorsements Talarico has also received endorsements from organizations with longstanding voter engagement efforts in Black communities, including the Texas Organizing Project and Omega Network for Action, Inc. Several Black elected officials and community leaders have publicly backed his campaign, including Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis , Dallas County Clerk candidate Damarcus Offord and State Rep. Christian Manuel, who has said the campaign has responded to requests for additional outreach in communities of color. Looking ahead Talarico’s campaign is scheduled to continue its outreach efforts with a public rally at Disciple Central Community Church, 901 N Polk St Suite 101, DeSoto, TX 75115 , on Monday, July 20, where supporters and local leaders are expected to gather as Democrats intensify organizing efforts heading into the final months before the November election.

We are the women who answer late night phone calls, sit in hospital rooms, pray for our friends’ children, celebrate others while quietly carrying our own burdens, and somehow find a way to pour from cups that have been empty for quite some time. We love hard. Sometimes too hard. We become the safe place for everyone else while forgetting that we, too, need somewhere safe to land. Emotional intelligence teaches us that loving others is a gift, but understanding ourselves is wisdom. It is having the ability to extend both our hearts and our heads to provide care, guidance, support, and compassion while also recognizing when we are neglecting ourselves in the process. How many times have you encouraged a friend to rest while running yourself into exhaustion? How many times have you reminded someone of their worth while questioning your own? How many times have you shown patience, commitment, grace, and unconditional love to others but withheld those very same things from yourself? She Is Me because every woman has been there. We have all loved family members who did not fully understand us. We have stood beside friends through storms and remained loyal even when life became difficult. We have loved mates with every fiber of our being, often placing their needs before our own. But somewhere along the way, many of us learned how to become everything for everybody and very little for ourselves. The truth is this: You deserve the same care that you freely give. You deserve the same concern that you offer others. You deserve the same commitment that you extend to everyone else. And most importantly, you deserve your own constant love. Loving yourself is not selfish. It is necessary. It is setting healthy boundaries without guilt. It is allowing yourself to rest. It is forgiving yourself for mistakes. It is choosing peace over performance. It is looking in the mirror and saying, “I matter too.” Because if we are honest, some of us have spent years making sure everyone else was okay while silently breaking ourselves apart. A healthy love for self teaches people how to love us. It reminds us that our value is not based on what we do for others but simply on who we are. Before you can fully love your family, your friends, or your mate, you must first know how to love yourself. Not the polished version. Not the strong version. Not the version that always has it together. But the woman who cries in private, who is still healing, who sometimes gets tired, who needs reassurance, who longs to be chosen, too. Love her. Care for her. Speak kindly to her. Protect her peace. Be patient with her growth. Commit to her healing. And never abandon her. Because the relationship you have with yourself sets the tone for every other relationship in your life. Dear Me, continue being kind. Continue loving deeply. Continue being a safe place for those you hold dear. But do not forget to become that safe place for yourself. You cannot continually pour into others while denying yourself water. She Is Me because she finally understands that loving herself does not take away from the love she gives others…..it multiplies it. And perhaps one of the greatest acts of emotional intelligence is realizing this simple truth: Love yourself first. Then love others from the overflow. We Will Be Well.

Terry, Ed.D | Terry, Ed.D Executive Director – Dallas Region\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Promise of Choice, The Reality of Access\n\n\n\nTexas education has shifted in a big way over the last year. In 2025, state lawmakers passed a package of bills: Senate Bill 2, which created Texas Education Freedom Accounts (a voucher-style program giving families public dollars to put toward private school tuition or other education expenses), and House Bill 2, which increased funding for public schools. Together, they were sold to families as a turning point: more choice, more resources, more freedom to decide what’s best for your child.\n\n\n\nAs an educator, education researcher, and mother, I’ve watched this rollout closely. But more importantly, I’ve lived it.\n\n\n\nIn 2024, at the end of her first-grade year, my daughter was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Before that diagnosis, she was already receiving speech and language services, and that experience was a good one. She was progressing in her language development, even as she quietly fell behind academically. For a while, no one had the full picture of why. From my years working with neurodivergent students, I recognized some of the signs early in my sweet girl.\n\n\n\nAs parents, we carry a responsibility to advocate for our children. For parents of kids with unique learning needs, that advocacy is a full-time job. After my daughter’s diagnosis, it became mine. \n\n\n\nI want to be clear about something: the fight was never with her teachers or her school. It was with a system that hadn’t yet given them what they needed. Specifically, the lack of training, staffing, and resources to fully support a student like her. So we looked for other options.\n\n\n\nThe Uneven Burden on Black Families\n\n\n\nThis isn’t just our story. A 2026 Texas Tribune analysis found that Black students make up about 13% of Texas public school enrollment but 16% of students receiving special education services, and that Black students receiving those services face exclusionary discipline, like suspension and expulsion, at disproportionately higher rates. When special education programs are underfunded, the students who aren’t being over-disciplined are too often overlooked or misdiagnosed instead. For Black families raising a child with special needs in Texas, that reality sits heavy. I know it well.\n\n\n\nTucked into a neighborhood in far North Dallas, we found a school that felt built for her. But it came with a cost. Private school tuition in the Dallas Metroplex  runs $30,000 to $50,000 a year, before enrollment fees, technology costs, and uniforms are added on. Numbers like that can make any promise of funding feel like a lifeline — which is exactly how the Education Freedom Accounts were marketed: up to $30,000 a year, framed as an option finally open to every family, not just those who could already afford it.\n\n\n\nNavigating the Education Freedom Account System\n\n\n\nSo we decided to see what was possible for our family. Because we’d already been navigating a private school and had guidance through the application process, we moved through it with relative ease. My daughter’s private school, which serves a mostly white student body, had spent months walking parents through exactly what documentation to gather and how to time the application window. I know that wasn’t true for most families, especially those trying to track down the right codes on their child’s Individualized Education Plan for the first time, on their own, without a school’s help. \n\n\n\nAccording to reporting from the Texas Tribune, the majority of families who applied for the accounts were already homeschooling or already enrolled in private school, meaning the program reached fewer new families than the “choice for all” framing suggested. Of roughly 28,700 families with special needs who applied for the full award, fewer than 25 received it. The Dallas Morning News reported that out of 274,000 total applicants, only 20 received between $25,000 and $30,000, with the average award closer to $16,000.\n\n\n\nEven applying at all required a kind of preparation and prior access that not every family has equal footing to build. That gap didn’t start with this program, and it won’t end with it either. A policy marketed as leveling the playing field can still leave the field just as uneven as it was before if the families with the most information and the fewest barriers are the ones best positioned to benefit.\n\n\n\nThe Hidden Costs Beyond Tuition\n\n\n\nFrom personal experience, $16,000 isn’t enough to cover private school tuition plus the fees and logistics that come with it. And even when a family does receive funding, there’s a cost the marketing never mentions: the drive. On average, it takes our family an hour each way to get our daughter to and from school on a good traffic day. Reliable transportation, a flexible job, and a lot of coordination make that possible. Not every family that wants this option can build a life around it, no matter how much funding they receive.\n\n\n\nI share all of this not to argue that one type of school is right and another is wrong. Public, private, charter, home school, every family has to weigh what’s true for their child and their circumstances, and no one outside that family is in a position to judge the choice they make. What this past year has shown me is that “choice” only means something if a family can actually act on it — logistically, financially, and with the information they need to navigate the process in the first place. Right now, that’s not equally true for everyone the program was promised to.\n\n\n\nWhy Teacher Preparation Still Matters Most\n\n\n\nWhat I keep coming back to is this: no matter which door a family walks through, the thing that actually determines whether a child thrives is the adult in front of them. A well-prepared, well-supported teacher can change the trajectory of a child’s year in any building. My daughter’s early progress came from teachers who knew how to reach her. The gaps that showed up later came from a lack of capacity, not a lack of care. That distinction matters, and it’s why I believe so deeply in investing in how teachers are trained and supported, before they ever step into a classroom, and long after.\n\n\n\nThis is the work I get to do every day as the Executive Director of City Teaching Alliance’s Dallas region. Our organization prepares and supports teachers to walk into classrooms already equipped to see the full range of students in front of them, including students like my daughter. HB2 put real new dollars into public schools, and that matters. But dollars alone don’t build a teacher’s capacity to recognize a struggling reader, adapt a lesson for a neurodivergent student, or know when a child needs more than a general classroom can offer on its own. That takes intentional preparation, and it’s a piece of this landscape I think deserves just as much attention as the accounts themselves. Closing the gap between what families are promised and what their kids actually experience starts there, with the person standing at the front of the room.\n\n\n\nJuly is Disability Pride Month, and I’m thinking of my daughter and of every family in our community still learning how to make a system see their child fully. I’m proud of her. I’m proud to be her mother. As the educator and organizer Bettina Love writes, our children deserve more than a system that punishes them for dreaming. They deserve adults equipped to help them build something. \n\n\n\nThat’s the choice I want every family to have access to, regardless of the zip code, the school building, or the paperwork required to get there.\nThe post All Choices Aren’t Good Choices appeared first on Dallas Weekly.","url":"https://dallasweekly.com/2026/07/special-education-funding-gap/","source":"Dallas

They’re building an identity.\n\n\n\nSunday’s 96-91 comeback victory over the Chicago Sky in the first of three games at American Airlines Center this season extended Dallas’ winning streak to five games, its longest since 2023. The Wings improved to 15-8, their best record through 23 games since relocating to North Texas in 2016, and head into Thursday’s matchup against the New York Liberty playing some of their most complete basketball of the season.\n\n\n\nThe winning streak has been built on comeback victories, balanced scoring, timely defense and a growing trust that has allowed different players to take over when their number has been called.\n\n\n\nThe signs were there before Sunday’s game against Chicago, too.\n\n\n\nChicago guard Jacy Sheldon knew Dallas would be a challenge defensively coming into Sunday.\n\n\n\n“I think defensively is going to be the key tonight, slowing them down offensively, knowing what they like to get to, knowing each player’s go-to moves,” Sheldon said. “They’re a really good offensive team, and obviously when they’re scoring a lot of points, they win a lot of games.”\n\n\n\nCredit: Dallas Wings\n\n\n\nOver the next five games, Dallas continued to validate Sheldon’s assessment, repeatedly finding answers regardless of the opponent or game script.\n\n\n\nThe Wings erased a 14-point deficit to beat Connecticut 86-83 in the series opener. Paige Bueckers scored 11 fourth-quarter points on her way to 25 points, seven rebounds and seven assists.\n\n\n\nDallas then defeated Toronto 89-76 on the road with all five starters scoring in double figures. Bueckers finished with 22 points, Azzi Fudd added 17 points and five 3-pointers, and Jessica Shepard recorded a 14-point, 15-rebound double-double.\n\n\n\nDallas followed it up with perhaps its best performance of the season yet. Shepard posted her third triple-double of the year with 22 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists, and Awak Kuier recorded the first double-double of her WNBA career on her way to scoring 10 points and grabbing 12 rebounds. Defensively, the Wings held the Liberty to just 19.2 percent shooting from beyond the arc.\n\n\n\nThe streak continued in Montreal, where Dallas spoiled the city’s first WNBA game with a 108-95 victory over Toronto before a WNBA regular-season record crowd of 20,996. Bueckers erupted for a season-high 34 points, Shepard added 20 points and 17 rebounds, and Arike Ogunbowale scored 20 points as the Wings rallied from another double-digit deficit.\n\n\n\nThen came Sunday’s win over Chicago.\n\n\n\nDallas erased a 10-point second-half deficit to win 96-91 and improve to 15-8 on the season. Bueckers finished with 22 points and 11 assists, Shepard recorded her WNBA-leading 15th double-double (19 points, 10 rebounds) and Li Yueru stepped up for Alanna Smith in her absence with 10 points and 10 rebounds.\n\n\n\n“This game, we didn’t know what to expect because Aly got hurt,” Shepard said. “But we still had Li, we still had the confidence in each other. We knew we could step up for her.”\n\n\n\nFudd added 16 points Sunday and became the fastest player since 2002 to reach both 40 made 3-pointers and 40 steals in a season.\n\n\n\nIt was the eighth time this season Dallas has come from behind to win after trailing in the fourth quarter, tying the Washington Mystics for most comeback wins in the fourth quarter across the WNBA.\n\n\n\n“I think our grit and our resilience,” head coach Jose Fernandez said of what makes his team able to pull off comeback wins. “We don’t do it on purpose to be down in the fourth quarter, but I think the pace that we play allows us to do some things that we do well in the fourth quarter.”\n\n\n\nFernandez also credited the team’s depth after another comeback victory.\n\n\n\n“Everybody played and had a significant piece to this victory,” he said.\n\n\n\nThat depth was on full display against Chicago, where Yueru stepped into a larger role after Smith exited with a right lower leg injury and helped stabilize Dallas’ frontcourt on both ends of the floor.\n\n\n\n“My teammates always tell me, ‘You’re good. Don’t worry about that. Just focus on this moment,’” Yueru said through an interpreter. “I feel really happy because this is the best locker room. We keep supporting each other.”\n\n\n\nBueckers said that trust within the locker room has allowed players to embrace changing roles without hesitation.\n\n\n\n“Li stepped up and played huge minutes for us and was a huge reason why we won this game,” Bueckers said. “I think it speaks to our depth and our sacrifice within the team. We have a great locker room where everybody knows it could be my night, it could be her night. We all play a selfless brand of basketball.”\n\n\n\nEven as the Wings continue to stack wins, Bueckers believes the group is still far from its ceiling.\n\n\n\n“We’re not perfect,” Bueckers said. “This wasn’t even close to our best game, but we stuck together, we dug in and we found a way to win.”\n\n\n\nCredit: Dallas Wings\n\n\n\nThe five-game winning streak has reinforced what Dallas is becoming. The Wings have shown they can erase double-digit deficits, defend at a high level and rely on contributions throughout the roster. Whether it’s Bueckers taking over late, Shepard filling the stat sheet, Fudd providing two-way production or role players stepping into bigger opportunities, Dallas has continued to find different ways to win. As the second half of the season approaches, that versatility may be the team’s greatest strength.\n\n\n\nThat depth and resilience will face another test Thursday when the Liberty visit College Park Center. Dallas earned an 88-77 victory in the first meeting behind Shepard’s triple-double and one of its best defensive performances of the season. A second win over New York would extend the Wings’ winning streak to six games, complete a season sweep of the Liberty and offer another indication that Dallas is evolving from an up-and-coming team into one capable of challenging the WNBA’s top contenders.\nThe post Dallas Wings’ Five-Game Surge Faces Next Test Against New York appeared first on Dallas Weekly.","url":"https://dallasweekly.com/2026/07/comeback-victory-dallas-wings/","source":"Dallas Weekly","author":"Rashad Miller","publishDate":"2026-07-13T16:57:04.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://www.thedallas.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi0.wp.com%2Fdallasweekly.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2FDSC01137.jpeg%3Ffit%3D819%252C1024%26amp%3Bssl%3D1","slug":"dallas-wings-five-game-surge-faces-next-test-against-new-york"},{"id":"9wvura","title":"Fort Worth police under fire after viral clash with anti-LGBTQ demonstators","excerpt":"U.S. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillion is requesting information from the city to determine if “formal action” is necessary.

The free tool monitors anonymous connection data and automatically finds routes around firewalls, developers say.","content":"A new VPN adapts to local barriers to help students and travelers with internet restrictions, according to its creators.\n\nFree AI-powered VPN Voidly AI doesn't require registration or ads. It \"learns from each anonymous connection\" and chooses a route that will likely allow traffic through even when networks block certain content. Unlike traditional VPNs that use fixed servers, Voidly AI operates independently, meaning it does not rely on a specific server location to route traffic. Voidly looks at the country and provider, encrypts traffic with WireGuard, and uses \"Cloak\" to make VPN data look like web browsing, according to its creators. When you disconnect, all session traces disappear since servers run in RAM.\n\nThe outcome is a VPN that can quickly bypass blocks. Developers say that \"the program learns from each anonymous connection, figures out which route will work, and switches automatically so users can keep browsing.\" It works well in countries with stringent limitations since the technology improves with use. Where other VPNs fail, Voidly works effectively in China, Iran, and Russia, according to its creators. Volunteers fund the service and want to provide its source code. To simplify, install the program on a phone or computer and let it find the internet.\n\nPrivacy advocates argue we need these tools. The Markup found that many U.S. school districts \"routinely go far beyond\" federal internet filtering requirements. It keeps students from accessing the information they need to complete their assignments. \" Several districts have banned news sites and educational movies. However, Voidly's no-log VPN may let a kid watch banned news or play learning games on school Wi-Fi. Global governments sometimes impose harsher restrictions. In Myanmar, the military administration tried to block VPN access to prevent free speech. These crackdowns demonstrate why human rights supporters embrace adaptable technologies.

It \"learns from each anonymous connection\" and chooses a route that will likely allow traffic through even when networks block certain content. Unlike traditional VPNs that use fixed servers, Voidly AI operates independently, meaning it does not rely on a specific server location to route traffic. Voidly looks at the country and provider, encrypts traffic with WireGuard, and uses \"Cloak\" to make VPN data look like web browsing, according to its creators. When you disconnect, all session traces disappear since servers run in RAM.</p><p>The outcome is a VPN that can quickly bypass blocks. Developers say that \"the program learns from each anonymous connection, figures out which route will work, and switches automatically so users can keep browsing.\" It works well in countries with stringent limitations since the technology improves with use. Where other VPNs fail, Voidly works effectively in China, Iran, and Russia, according to its creators. Volunteers fund the service and want to provide its source code. To simplify, install the program on a phone or computer and let it find the internet.</p><p>Privacy advocates argue we need these tools. The Markup found that many U.S. school districts \"routinely go far beyond\" federal internet filtering requirements. It keeps students from accessing the information they need to complete their assignments. \" Several districts have banned news sites and educational movies. However, Voidly's no-log VPN may let a kid watch banned news or play learning games on school Wi-Fi. Global governments sometimes impose harsher restrictions. In Myanmar, the military administration tried to block VPN access to prevent free speech. These crackdowns demonstrate why human rights supporters embrace adaptable technologies.

It protects your online activity using WireGuard encryption and a feature named Cloak that disguises VPN usage as regular web browsing. This feature makes it more difficult for filters to detect and block your connection.\n\nThe service improves with each try.
