Leading Off (Arlington Edition)

1. The new stadium for the Dallas Cowboys is now 50 percent complete. Is there any doubt that if Jerry was suddenly put in charge of the Trinity River project, it would be completed on time, on budget?

2. The Tom Hicks-led and uncomfortably named Arlington project known as Glorypark announced a mixed-use development that will include bowling lanes, a restuarant, bar, live theater, and movie theaters. No word whether Hicks plans to fund the project in the same way he does the Rangers, scolding patrons and telling them to visit the site before he’ll put more money into it.

3.  The Arlington branch of Terminix has agreed to pay $95,000 in settlement of a race discrimination and retaliation case. Man, sounds like that place has a poisonous atmosphere. (Please continue to rock me.)
