Former Dallas City Councilman Don Hill and his wife were found guilty of extorting hundreds of thousands of dollars from contractors to insure they got the zonings they wanted in his district. But according to poor Mr. Hill, "I know the things that we did, my wife and I . . . all we wanted to do is the very best for the citizens of Dallas, and we were doing it at great sacrifice." If you believe that, I'll check with my relative and see if she still has that fountain downtown for sale.
