Texas roads have deteriorated in the last 10 years, with just under 77% in acceptable condition in 2022 compared to nearly 92% in 2012; Dallas wants to send out recruiting materials to attract candidates for a new city manager next month. But the search firm hired by the city to lead the headhunting must ensure it advertises the right city first. Several City Council members were puzzled Monday after reviewing a seven-page draft of the job ad brochure. The cover displayed downtown skyscrapers they couldn’t quite place. That's because the picture wasn’t of Dallas. Dallas Public Library System Director Mary Jo Giudice will retire Oct. 1 after more than two decades in the library system, Interim City Manager Kimberly Bizor Tolbert said Tuesday. Giudice oversees 28 library branches and has worked in the library system since 2004. Texts, videos she’ll never delete: Dallas shooting ends son’s faithful contact This story is part of The Dallas Morning News’ homicide project focused on sharing the stories of all people killed in Dallas in 2024.
