MAYORAL DUKE-OUT

CRE types (TREC, CREW Dallas, NTCAR, and NAIOP North Texas) hosted a Dallas mayoral forum on Tuesday at The Fairmont Hotel. Candidates on hand: CIC managing partner Mike Rawlings, Dallas City Councilman Ron Natinsky, former DPD police chief David Kunkle, and the The OKPA Co principal Edward Okpa.

Edward doesn't want to see any neighborhood left behind and is opposed to raising taxes, saying that we need to get more efficient. Mike says residents are over-taxed and underserved. Got all that? Good, because the election isMay 14.

Who's got their votes? We hearCasey Abrams has the most supporters with Jacob Lusk getting some ballots, too. Oh wait, you're not talking about American Idol? In that case, we have no clue who they're voting for.
