Laura Miller and Tom Leppert in conversation with Josh Kumler

What does it mean to be the mayor of Dallas? A group of former Dallas mayors has put forward a ballot proposition that would make our mayoral system “stronger.” Tom Leppert is one of those former mayors putting the proposal forward, and Laura Miller shared her own thoughts on the topic in a recent D Magazine cover story. We’ll ask them: Just how “strong” do we want our mayor to be? Like, should they be doing CrossFit or just jogging? And what would that mean for the rest of our city council? And City Hall itself?
