SocraticGadfly: Tom Leppert, regional meddler

Tom Leppert, regional meddler

Hey, I would love for the various Dallas suburbs to tighten their ordinances on smoking in restaurants and similar places.

But, first of all, this is a purely local matter for each suburb. It’s no business of Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert. Where’s he get off on that?

Second, it’s not like Leppert doesn’t have enough to do in Dallas itself anyway, between schmoozing, fluffing and smoke-and-mirroring the Corps of Engineers to get a grade-A environmental review on the Trinity Tollway, continuing to smack around Councilwoman Angela Hunt for the effrontery to try to hold Dallas civic leaders to the intent of an original vote, and playing CYA for DART’s financial flim-flam.

Tom, I’m sure that smoking ordinances in Dallas suburbs is soooo much more important than all that. Not!
