Cozy Chair at DART
Now that the Trinity developers have their green light to do whatever it is they plan to do down in the river bottom, Jim Schutze, of Unfair Park, has turned his sights on DART. He's been watching carefully as, first, DART tries to explain how its estimates for extending lines to new suburbs came up about a billion dollars short. And, now, he's watching the DART chair, Lynn Flint Shaw, twist slowly in the wind as details of various personal financial arrangements dribble out.
The latest was an announcement by Deloitte & Touche, external auditors for DART, that they had cancelled a $20,000 annual consulting contract with Lynn Flint Shaw. Jim Schutze suspects that Deloitte "must have felt the heat coming" and decided to cut Lynn Flint Shaw loose. Schutze wonders how many other side deals the supposedly independent auditor might have with DART board members. We might just find out. Schutze is on the case.

Lynn Flint Shaw resigned as DART chair today, saying she didn't want her "personal circumstances" and "personal financial situation" to become a "distraction." She says, "Public scrutiny has come at such a great expense to not only my family, but also to the charitable causes and public offices in which I am involved. Out of respect for each of them, I am not inclined to discuss these personal matters publicly again." Yeah, that and out of fear of having more dirt come to light.
