AHEAD OF THE HEADLINES: This may hit the news in the next day or so, but here's the quick scoop about today's imbroglio in the runoff for Dallas City Council District 2. Someone in the anti-Medrano camp came around to Pauline's house (where she and her family have lived for many years) and was photographing it. Someone saw him; when observed he fled, then returned later in another vehicle, believed to belong to his spouse. When he was spotted again trying to photograph the house, he tried to flee -- and promptly crashed his vehicle into that of Pauline's brother. He then fled from the accident scene, and its witnesses, at great speed. Meanwhile, the brother was admitted to the nearby Parkland Hospital to be checked out. This is just one more example of how pathetically desperate the die-hard Medrano haters are here. Sad, really. Maybe this notorious scourge will finally get the ticket he deserves for this panicky lawbreaking.
