We should trade Dallas, Austin & Houston to California in exchange for the “State of Jefferson”.
That would balance out things a bit and stave off Texas’ fade to blue
Dallas: 2,500 confirmed cases. 60 fatalities.
We would need to keep Killeen / Fort Hood and San Antonio for the military bases.
Dallas-Austin-Houston can keep all the liberals.

Nothing in Dallas anyways. Open it up and no one would notice! Ft. Worth is where its at!

We’re getting a great A/B test for policies with Dallas county’s over-reach, because Fort Worth is nowhere near as strict.
For once I agree with Commisioner John Wiley Price. Open up soon.
It is mostly Clay Jenkins over-reach.
