The Ellis County Press is Out, and Hopefully Dorothy Burton Will be Too

No, little Dorothy, we aren't in south Oak Cliff anymore. Your black racism can't escape accountability from every media outlet...

Duncanville Councilwoman/Mayor Pro-Tem Dorothy Burton will have a very interesting time tonight at the Duncanville candidate debate.

The Ellis County Press hit news stands today, and its Web site, EllisCountyPress.com, now has the entire issue up online.

Page 3 — which is where my Freedom of the Press column is carried — has Burton’s soiled Dallas Area Rapid Transit past in print.

The Best Southwest Dallas County area has two newspapers - Today and Focus Daily News, where I got my start in journalism in 1999. Both papers have just been punked out by a paper not fully in their coverage area. Sucks to be them. Cover-ups have no place in journalism, which is why the newspaper industry is being shredded to bits.

Readers, feel free to send in your photos and video of the distribution of our papers at tonight’s debate, or just of the debate in general. I know for a fact one of the Duncanville activists picked up 50 copies of the ECP to hand-deliver to folks.

Burton has never been held accountable for her DART past. The documents are public record, and so is her DART employment history.

She was fired for the stunt she pulled. And hopefully on May 9, voters will fire her from the mayor pro-tem spot.

Duncanville Police Follow Paul Ford While Campaigning

The Duncanville Police Department, acting on alleged directives from its chief and possibly City Manager Kent Cagle, had an officer follow controversial District 3 Councilman Paul Ford to a senior citizens center when the incumbent councilman, who was arrested at the last Duncanville council meeting, was campaigning.

Ford faces former councilman Anthony Skinner in the May 9 election.


The identity of the officer who followed Ford is not known currently, but when we do find out, his TCLEOSE records will be made public and he will be followed.


Is this really that necessary? Come on people. Ford is an outspoken activist on the city council, he isn't a terrorist.


I think Duncanville PD ought to be dismantled and a new team be brought in to shape those guys up.


Ford is a vocal opponent of the city's red light cameras. His Web site, PaulFordReports.com, has exposed numerous upon numerous of conflict of interest votes and decisions made by his council colleagues.

More Conflict of Interests. More Real Estate Corruption Deals.

The user "Rosy" posted these damning allegations over at The Ellis County Observer's popular Paul Ford Arrest Video blog post. Does anyone want to address them, or vouch for the information contained?

Do you know where the Paul Ford campaign begain? Probably not… but check this ONE THING out… We (Duncanville taxpayers) paid a church $500,000 for a piece of property located at the intersection of I-20 and Main… this property was on the DCAD for $49,000.00…Why did Duncanville (taxpayers) pay 10 times the value… NO ONE knows.. I myself have asked for an appraisal and was told that none was available… BUT it gets better… later… the city of Duncanville taxpayers) GAVE… LET ME MAKE THIS CLEAR>>> GAVE… the property to Paramount Properties… check it out… they have a for sale sign on the property… and you can view it on the internet… it is for sale for $1 million+… and WE GAVE IT TO THEM… WHY??? BURIED… try asking Mayor Green… Kent Cagle… and I guarantee you will recieve a personal profile on your life… I mean… if you ever farted in church… it will be brought out… THIS is the tactic that our PRO-DUNC… (otherwise known as … using our money for their own gain… as we sleep) ACT. Ever wondered why we are spending millions on the revalitizing of downtown Duncanville… COUNT the buildings… then divide it by how many of these properties are owned by the HEAD of PRO-DUNC… Dalton LOTT… not to mention the little property owned by Scott Cannon… (Councilman… ALL FOR IT)… Like I said… I am wanting to paint and re-landscape my home… I truly think it will enhance my neighborhood and probably raise property values and tax revenus… therefore… I … LIKE Dalton Lott… think that my neighbors… and all taxpaying citizens of Duncanville should contribute to my expense… Again… I need only $2,800.00… A lot less than LOTT… FUNNY… let’s do it again… A LOT LESS THAN LOTT…

Somehow when I read it again.. it is not so FUNNY!

Dorothy Burton's Emotional Strategy Won't Work This Time Around

Councilwoman Dorothy Burton, the mayor pro-tem, won't be able to use her emotional pull the way she did in 2007's election:

“My parents abandoned me when I was 6-months-old, I was sexually abused as a girl and sexually assaulted at 16. I decided to work my way and go to school, some days I didn't even know where I was going to stay or what I was going to have to eat, but I didn't quit. And I'm asking you not to quit on me. We've come too far, and we have too far to go.”

This is sad, but unfortunately this has no bearing on how a councilperson or a taxpayer-funded public servant should act. The disgusting act of Burton placing soiled, bloodied women's underwear for co-workers to see when she was at DART isn't going to fly.


And neither will Burton's emotional problems.
