Laura Miller
Laura Miller, the mayor of Dallas, is attempting to push through a $50 million bond to upgrade the Cotton Bowl. The Cotton Bowl is a giant, old, rarely used stadium in Fair Park.
Yet she publicly said she was against having the George W. Bush library awarded to SMU. There are lots of reasons that the Bush library could be bad for SMU (just talk to the English department), but I still don't think that the mayor should campaign against a prestigious, tourism-producing establishment being awarded to her city, particularly when I sincerely doubt it would cost the city $50 million. It would just cost donors and the (private) University millions upon millions of dollars rather than pouring money into a giant decades old stadium that is used 3 times a year.
