For months, I’ve looked into Dallas' 14 adult specialty courts for @labreportdallas—diversion programs built to help vulnerable people. Research shows if they stray from best practices, they risk doing real harm.
Today, we published the investigation. 🧵

They cut key local positions. No city hall reporters, no stat reporters, sports coverage gone. Journalism, whether you like it or not, helps communities. Keeps residents at its center, evokes conversation about topics, coverage, quality. All necessary things for our democracy.
NEW: Huge layoffs across McClatchy newspapers today, with some newsrooms gutted by a third. An internal email from management says consumer revenue has dipped 41% and "we cannot continue investing where subscriber interest does not support the investment"

Difficult 28 hours for downtown Dallas, though the Mavs have picked a Dallas location for their next arena.
At roughly noon yesterday Mavs CEO Rick Welts informed City Manager Kim Tolbert in person that the Mavs had picked Valley View. Likewise late this afternoon Stars CEO Brad Alberts met with and informed Tolbert of the Plano deal.
Breaking: The Dallas Stars have picked the Shops at Willow Bend in Plano as the site for their new arena and entertainment district.
The team has submitted a letter of intent for the new development to Plano City Council, which will be voted on Monday. dallasnews.com/sports/stars/…

281 detentions. $500 fines. A mounting pile of warrants.
Records show a new Dallas PD team has zip-tied unhoused people across 61 locations in a pivot toward enforcement. My latest @labreportdallas on the city’s new approach—and the alarm it’s sounding:

A limited-government advocate in Texas persuaded five small towns to incorporate as “liberty cities,” which feature lean governments, little to no taxation and scant regulation.
At least two of them struggle to provide basic services.
