"There is a word for this: boondoggle. Dallas taxpayers would be paying an enormous premium — and giving up their majestic, centrally located seat of government — for the benefit of real estate interests, the building industry and the billionaire owners of the basketball team that shipped the city’s favorite son out of town in the middle of the night and then raised ticket prices."

"In general, it’s saddening how feckless this city is when it comes to maintaining the buildings and spaces that it owns. Specifically on this City Hall thing, I think it’s great that the News publishes a strong voice like Lamster’s, a middle finger in its own face. It serves the city well."
