    City News Roundup

    Save your fave vintage building and more doings in Dallas city news

    Is this your favorite vintage Dallas building?
    Preservation Dallas

    In a few short days, Dallas will begin its journey through the exciting process of resolving its annual budget for 2015-2016. For now, we have a lull, a calm before the storm, where towels were a hot topic. And if you have a favorite building in Dallas you'd like to champion, now's your chance.

     

     No towel for this guy
    Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was arrested on August 3 for securities law violations that he allegedly did while he was a state legislator. Paxton was charged with two counts of securities fraud and one count of acting as an investment adviser representative without being registered with the state securities board. He surrendered in his hometown McKinney, where he was fingerprinted and photographed at Collin County Jail.

     

    But he was also allowed to sneak through a side door, and not be photographed in the usual towel that every arrestee endures. Department spokesman Lt. Chris Havey told the Dallas Morning News that there was a court order from a judge that Paxton not be forced to wear the towel.

     

    "Why didn't Paxton get the towel treatment for his mugshot like every other inmate in Collin County?" asked one tweet. "Rank must indeed have privilege," said another.

     

     Failing upwards
    Sarah Standifer was named permanent director of the city's Trinity Watershed Management department, despite a series of questionable actions leading up to her appointment, that include helping organize a retirement party for her boss using funds from companies who have city contracts. "Essentially all of the city's recent Trinity-related screw-ups bear Standifer's fingerprints," the Dallas Observer notes. A few weeks ago, the city stealthily altered the qualifications for the job by deleting the requirement for an engineering degree, which Standifer does not have.

     

     Most endangered list
    Preservation Dallas is seeking suggestions for its "Most Endangered Historic Places List." According to the nonprofit dedicated to promoting the revitalization of Dallas' historic buildings, the last list came out in 2010. "So many historic buildings in Dallas having uncertain futures, awareness needs to be brought to the threats facing significant historic places in our city," the organization says, "and recent events have necessitated its return."

     

    Nominations for the new list are being accepted until August 14. If you'd like to nominate a building, you can do so on the website. A jury will review the nominations and select the top sites for the 2015 list, which will be announced in September.

     

     Radio blues
    Community radio station KNON 89.3 FM is looking for a new location and a whole lot of money. The station's lease is up for its space at 5353 Maple Ave., and the landlord will be tearing down the building and replacing it with a storage facility. They've been at the space since 2005 and must move by the end of September. Station manager Dave Chaos says that the move will cost $30,000 on top of the regular $114,000 it needs for its operations. That's a lot of pledge donations.

    Crime & punishment

    SMU and KC Chiefs star Rashee Rice sentenced for Dallas high-speed crash

    DALLAS (AP) — Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was sentenced to 30 days in jail on Thursday, July 17 after authorities said he and another speeding driver caused a chain-reaction crash that left multiple people injured on a Dallas highway last year.

    The Dallas County District Attorney’s Office said Rice pleaded guilty to two third-degree felony charges of collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury in the March 30, 2024, crash. As part of a plea agreement, Rice was sentenced to five years of deferred probation and 30 days in jail as a condition of his probation, prosecutors said.

    The judge will allow Rice, 25, to find a time or times to serve the jail sentence, a spokesperson for the district attorney's office said.

    Prosecutors said he was also required to pay the victims for their out-of-pocket medical expenses, which totaled about $115,000.

    Rice was driving a Lamborghini Urus SUV at 119 mph (191 kph) when he made “multiple aggressive maneuvers around traffic” and struck other vehicles, prosecutors said. Prosecutors said that after the crash on North Central Expressway, Rice failed to check on the welfare of those in the other vehicles and fled on foot.

    The accident was caught on a dashcam video by motorist Bill Nabors.

    The news release from prosecutors included a statement from Rice that was released by his attorney. Rice said in the statement that he's had “a lot of sleepless nights thinking about the damages that my actions caused, and I will continue working within my means to make sure that everyone impacted will be made whole.”

    “I am profoundly sorry for the physical damages to person and property,” Rice said in the statement. “I fully apologize for the harm I caused to innocent drivers and their families.”

    Brian McCarthy, the NFL’s vice president of communication, said in a statement, “We have been closely monitoring all developments in the matter which remains under review."

    The Chiefs said Thursday that they did not have a comment.

    Rice was leasing the Lamborghini that police said was speeding along with a Corvette when the crash occurred. Rice's attorney has said that the Corvette belonged to Rice. The driver of the Corvette, who police said also left the scene, was also charged in the crash. The status of that case was not immediately clear on Thursday.

    Rice, a member of the Super Bowl-winning Chiefs team, is from the Dallas area. He played for SMU in Dallas and grew up in the Fort Worth suburb of North Richland Hills. Rice was selected by the Chiefs in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft and has caught nine touchdowns in his two seasons with Kansas City.
