Save the Braniff Operations and Maintenance Base

Government accountability by the City of Dallas - City Hall staff, once again, is absent. Tomorrow an ordinance is being presented that had no public comment period, skipped EconDev Committee, and effects all Dallas Love Field GA tenants. We can only hope for responsible governance from our leaders.

Council to consider lease rental increase at both City owned airports - Dallas City The Dallas City Council will vote on an increase in annual lease rental rates at Dallas Love Field and Dallas Executive Airport at their Feb. 24 meeting. The proposed increases at Love Field will be effective April 1 and are projected to increase revenue by $10 million over 10 years. The proposed in…

"Perhaps if there is one thing we can all agree on, it’s this: Change shouldn’t just line developers’ pockets and fill the city’s coffers; it also should improve quality of life for residents. Increases in property value and more retail options could be construed as beneficial, yes, but is that the best we can hope for?"

We could not agree more! This is a great article that echoes our intent with the Braniff OMB. Unfortunately, the current leaseholders do not have a clue what they are doing.

Want to Get Monica Alonzo's Support? Easy. Hire Steve Salazar. Hey, Mr. Jensen. I’m so ashamed. I feel terrible. I wrote all those stories about the city screwing you out of your home and warehouse in West Dallas and how Monica Alonzo, the City Council member for your area, ignored your repeated pleas for help. You kept saying, “I don’t...

Mr. Kalthoff reports on the "change of course" regarding the project. Fact still remains that neighbors and preservation groups are opposed to awarding such an important project to someone with no historical restoration experience and a sigificant diversion of aeronautical use land.

Change of Course: Braniff Building Deal Approved Two week after killing plans to renovate the old Braniff site at Love Field, Dallas city leaders changed course and awarded a deal to renovate the place to car dealer Randall Reed.

Interesting questions raised about the revote and neighborhood leader Pat White (resident of D14 - Jennifer Staubach Gates) speaks out about the lack of support from constituents. The sentiment was echoed by D2 Adam Medrano residents too - but apparently does not matter!

This issue has had its ups and downs, but the latest action by the Dallas City Council to reconsider and pass a plan over neighbor, preservation, and home councilmember objection raises significant questions on numerous fronts. Sad day to call ourselves Dallasites when this stuff happens.

While this article is full of inaccuracies and unfounded speculation, it is informative on the highly unusual process.

Fact check: The suit against Reed was NOT dismissed. There are no dubious links between FCLG and Medrano, and Council was fully aware of the Landmark Commission link.
