Politics of (Self-)Destruction
No one covers local government as well as Jim Schutze does. Today, in Unfair Park, not only does he report the downfall of former DART chairman Lynn Flint Shaw, but he somehow remembers an old story that raises all sorts of new speculation in light of today's developments. But first, today. Lynn Flint Shaw turned herself in on forgery charges related to an allegedly fake letter using Dallas County District Attorney Craig Watkins' signature and letterhead used to avoid paying a debt. Now, the old story. Ten years ago, ArtServe, a non-profit ticket agency for local arts groups found itself over $100,000 in debt it couldn't pay back. A lawsuit by a creditor turned up an allegedly fake letter from ArtServe to the creditor. The chairman of the board of ArtServe? You guessed it. Lynn Flint Shaw. Keep up the good work, Jim.
