Plans to save Fair Park may be swept away in a flood of "red ink". KERA's BJ Austin says 7 million dollars -- all of Fair Park's funding -- has been cut from next year's Dallas budget.
This September, DART trains will bring passengers to the 2009 State Fair. There are two stations; one at the front gates; the other near Martin Luther King Boulevard. Last week, DART, Fair Park officials, and Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson, predicted light rail service to Fair Park would be a catalyst for new activities year-round. Two days later, every bit of Fair Park's annual funding was cut in the proposed city budget for next year. Councilmember Vonceil Jones Hill says no one is safe from the budget axe - as City Hall looks at ways to make up a 190 MILLION dollar shortfall.
