One of Dwaine's main issues with the article is the following paragraph:
People familiar with the decision said top city parks officials decided that, after Mr. Leppert's memo, returning the tickets would be a good idea. Otherwise, council members would have received a batch of free tickets less than a week after the mayor openly questioned the practice.Dwaine wanted to respond to the article. His words:
*Park Board Director Paul Dyer never discussed the tickets with the Park Board to whom he reports and is accountable.
*The tickets were sent back before the memo.
*This is the first Park Board and City Council in history that has not been part of the tradition of the Cotton Bowl.
That's all I'll say for now. I didn't want to inject myself into the issue but the Deputy Mayor did want to get the word out that things aren't what they seem.

Now that's the truth! I'm still waiting on a memo...or phone call or something..
The Cotton Bowl is owned by the City of Dallas. The game is a City sponsored event there would have been nothing wrong with City elected Officials going in support of the event.
