“The President says this is not a race but he sure likes to go fast,” Romney recalled, noting that Bush fondly called him “his wing man.”

Injured during deployment to Iraq in 2003, Romney was sent to Fort Campbell in Kentucky for rehabilitation. Medically retired from the…

Years of planning, negotiation and problem solving will culminate Tuesday in a groundbreaking ceremony to mark the beginning of construction this fall of the Mockingbird Pedestrian Bridge at Katy Trail.

“This is kind of the big critical piece that connects the existing Katy Trail,” said Jared White, a Dallas transportation planner. “This is how we can get across Mockingbird and get everybody out to the northeast Dallas White Rock Lake area.”
