Community Leaders Back $1.5 Billion Measure With No Tax Increase on Dallasites
Dallas. Texas- Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson, former U.S Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson, State Senator Royce West, State Representative Victoria Neave Criado and former Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert will headline the VOTE YES FOR PROP A campaign kick-off at a press conference on Thursday, Sept. 15, at the CANVAS Hotel, 1325 Botham Jean Blvd., Dallas, TX 75215 at 10 a.m. Dallas residents have a oncein-a-generation opportunity to revitalize Fair Park and expand the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center Dallas (KBHCCD), two of Dallas’ biggest attractions for travel and tourism, when they cast their ballots November 8 for the $1.5 billion initiative. The ballot measure known as Proposition A asks citizens to vote FOR a “tourist tax”- a 2% increase in the hotel occupancy tax which is paid by visitors who stay overnight in Dallas hotels and motels. Dallas residents would reap the benefits of modernizing these venues but would pay no increase in property or sales taxes. If approved, this opportunity will create 50,000+ jobs, bring Fair Park into the 21st century with $300 million worth of renovations and repairs and double the capacity and expected revenue of the KBHCCD with a 1.2 billion investment in the expansion. The extensive improvements are projected to drive billions of dollars into the local economy, strengthen neighborhoods surrounding Fair Park and Downtown, and better connect the Central Business District to southern Dallas. The tourist tax mechanism was formerly used to fund construction of the American Airlines Center and allowed the City of Dallas to completely pay off debt 15 years earlier than expected. The last day to register to vote in the November election is Tuesday, October 11. Early voting starts on Monday, Oct. 24. Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 8.

THE VOTE THAT COSTS US NOTHING CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING
Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson moves a step closer to new NFL team dream
DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - After months of talking about Dallas becoming home to a second NFL franchise, Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson hosted the first committee meeting to turn talk into a hopeful reality.
The question is, does North Texas have what it takes to become home to a second NFL team? Mayor Johnson thinks so.
"I do believe that we have a big enough market to support two NFL teams better than both New York and Los Angeles, where pro-football isn't as popular as it is here," Mayor Johnson said.
During the first committee meeting of professional sports recruitment and retention, Mayor Johnson said a second team aligns with the city's economic development strategy.
"Dallas is the cultural and economic engine that drives the fourth largest and fastest growing metro area in the United States," Mayor Johnson said.
There's still a lot of questions, like: Where would you build another stadium within city limits? Where could you offer parking? Or even, where would you accommodate more people?
That's what members of the mayor's committee have been tasked to do.
"If you design things, if you build new things, you have to be very careful," University of North Texas Director of Sports Management, Bob Heere said. "Be like hey, how do we use this, how do we make substantial facility venue that beneficial for everyone."
Mayor Johnson made it clear his committee was not formed to create competition for the Dallas Cowboys. He believes it's time for Dallas to play a bigger role in North Texas's sports landscape.
"The city of Arlington, the city of Frisco, the city of Grand Prairie and the city of McKinney have been cornering the market on the sports business slowly but steadily over many years," Mayor Johnson said. "The city of Dallas frankly hasn't kept up even though the franchises in this area often claim our city in their branding. We're here today because we believe that needs to change."

Andre Emmett Murder Trial: Jury deliberating case in shooting death of former NBA player By Shaun Rabb
DALLAS - The prosecution wrapped up its case against murder suspect Larry Jenkins in court on Thursday, and the jury is now deliberating the case.
Jenkins is one of three people accused of killing former NBA player and Texas Tech star Andre Emmett outside of his Old East Dallas home in 2019. The other two defendants will go on trial later this year.
Jenkins’ uncle, Jamel Hardy, was called to the stand Thursday, though he was unhappy about being under subpoena to testify.
"The only reason why I’m here is that y'all had me come up here on another charge and you subpoenaed me to court and I told you over the phone before I came there that I don’t have nothing to do with nothing," Hardy said.
Prosecutors pressed him about a group of cars that showed up outside his mother’s Dallas apartment back on September 22, 2019.
"It was a white Chrysler, it was a brown car behind it, it was a black car behind it," Hardy said. Hardy, who the judge had to admonish for his language at times and who has his own criminal record, testified that he didn't know what the people in the cars were up to, and went to get his guns, then he saw his nephew sitting on the curb.
Prosecutors tried to put Jenkins in the Chrysler 300.
[LAWYER: "So he wasn't near the Chrysler 300?"]
"No," Hardy answered.
The Chrysler is critical to the case, as surveillance video captured a Chrysler 300 and eyewitnesses saw a Chrysler 300 after the shooting.
The white Chrysler 300 was purchased just weeks before by a co-defendant’s girlfriend had a tracking device put on it.
“We provide GPS tracking services primarily to help people get their cars back if they’re stolen,” William Cheney, with Procon Analytics, explained.
It was tracked to near where Emmett was robbed and murdered at 1801 North Prairie Avenue.
“2:19 a.m., the vehicle is at zero. It’s stopped and we see that the vehicle is now at an address range of 1801 to 1915 North Prairie Avenue,” prosecutor Summer Elmazi said.
The defense tried to downplay the GPS.
[LAWYER: “Mr. Cheney, the device can tell us a lot, but it can’t tell us who was driving the vehicle, correct?”] [LAWYER: “And it can’t tell us the number of people in the vehicle?”
Though what GPS tracking alone could not do, cell phone mapping could do, as it placed Jenkins’ cell phone in the same space with the Chrysler 300.
Mapping the phone and its use from Uptown, where Emmett had been clubbing, to across the street from the Whataburger where Emmett got food.
Ultimately, leaving the area where Emmett lived and was killed.
“And it shows the automobile moving south from the location of the crime,” said Greg Gambrell, who has worked for the Dallas County DA’s Office, in the digital muti-media evidence division.
The prosecution rested its case Thursday, then closing arguments took place.
On Wednesday, the prosecution called two career criminals to the stand.
Dominique McNeely testified that Jenkins told him he robbed and killed Emmett in September 2019.
Arkeen Jones, who is out on bond on unrelated charges of engaging organized criminal activity, also claimed Jenkins told him he murdered Emmett.
If convicted, Jenkins would receive an automatic life sentence.

VOTE YES FOR PROP A
Prop A is a unique opportunity to renovate and revitalize two of Dallas’ biggest attractions for travel and tourism- Fair Park and the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas (KBHCCD). Prop A would add a dedicated “tourist tax” to fund $1.5 billion in improvements and extensive renovations. Dallas residents would reap the benefits of modernizing these venues but would pay no increase in property or sales taxes. This opportunity will create 50,000+ jobs, bring our beloved Fair Park into the 21st century with $300 million worth of renovations and repairs, double the capacity and expected revenue of the KBHCCD with a $1.2 billion investment in the expansion, and ensure that we draw the very best A-list performers, events and conventions to these reimagined and improved venues. All of this and more is possible with your YES vote. The vote that costs us nothing can change everything.
National Hispanic Heritage Month By The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica
National Hispanic Heritage Month, month (September 15–October 15) in which the people of the United States honour the achievements of Hispanics. The celebration was first authorized in 1968, when the U.S. Congress adopted a resolution asking the president of the United States annually to issue a proclamation designating a week in September including September 15 and 16 as “National Hispanic Heritage Week.” In 1988 Congress expanded the celebration to a 31-day period beginning September 15. The resolution calls “on the people of the United States, especially the educational community, to observe National Hispanic Heritage Month with appropriate ceremonies and activities.” Hispanic Heritage Month coincides with the celebrations of Independence Day in many Latin American countries—including Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua (September 15), Mexico (September 16), and Chile (September 18)—as well as with Día de la Raza (October 12) and Columbus Day (originally October 12 in the United States but now commemorated there on the second Monday in October).
September 1st has past and back to school is here! Recipe of the Week: Shrimp Saganaki
Routine bus stops, children biking or walking to school, and after-school pick-ups by parents are back all over America as we embark on another year of learning.
While we are all excited for the year ahead, it is important to keep in mind one of the most important statistics we at the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) know all too well—that attempted abductions occur more often when a child is going to or from school or school-related activities.
School-age children are at greatest risk on school days before and after school (7-9 a.m. and 3-4 p.m.) and after dinner time (6-7 p.m.).
Our data also shows that there are many ways that a child or an adult can help thwart an attempted abduction, including ignoring or refusing them, using their cell phones to threaten intervention, fighting, and screaming/making noise. Take a moment to review our non-family abductions & attempts for tips and statistics on how to keep your children as protected as possible.
We hope you and your family stay safe and healthy during the back-to-school season.
Sincerely, Your Friends at The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children
SEAFOOD, DINNER, OVEN Time: 50 minutes Yield: 4 servings
Shrimp Saganaki is an absolute favorite in its native Greece, and you can taste the reason why! It's similar to shakshuka as it's a bright yet mellow tomato sauce infused with red pepper spice and fragrant shallots and garlic. The shrimp is savory and sweet, cooked to a juicy pink and sprinkled with sharp, creamy feta cheese. Shrimp Saganaki can be a meal on its own, or it could be a tantalizing appetizer for a seafood dinner. In either case, you may want some crusty bread on hand to mop up all of that amazing sauce.
Ingredients • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil • 3/4 cup shallots, finely chopped • 4 cloves garlic, roughly chopped • 1 (28-ounce) can of diced tomatoes • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt • 1/4 teaspoon pepper • 1 teaspoon ground cumin • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional • 1 tablespoon honey • 1 1/2 pounds extra-large shrimp, peeled and deveined, thawed if frozen • 6 ounces feta cheese • 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano • 2 tablespoons fresh mint, roughly chopped
Directions Step 1 Set an oven rack to the middle position and another oven rack about 5 inches underneath the broiler. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Step 2 Heat the olive oil in a wide, ovenproof skillet over medium-low heat.
Step 3 Add the shallots and garlic, and cook, stirring frequently so the garlic doesn’t burn or brown, until softened, for about 5-7 minutes.
Step 4 Add the can of tomatoes (with the juices), salt, pepper, cumin, red pepper flakes, and honey.
Step 5 Bring the mixture to a boil.
Step 6 Reduce the heat to mediumlow. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally until the sauce is thickened, about 15-20 minutes.
Step 7 Transfer the skillet from the heat.
Step 8 Arrange the shrimp over the tomato sauce in an even layer. Crumble the feta over the shrimp. Sprinkle with the oregano.
Step 9 Bake on the middle oven rack until the shrimp are pink and cooked through at 145 degrees F, about 1215 minutes.
Step 10 Turn on the broiler. Using an oven mitt, carefully transfer the pan to the high oven rack and broil until the feta is golden-brown in spots, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 11 Remove the skillet from the oven and let the shrimp rest for 5 minutes.
Step 12 Sprinkle with the mint and serve.
