DALLAS — Mayor Eric L. Johnson on Tuesday released the following statement regarding the City Council’s decision to vote on an interim city manager, effective June 3, during a special-called meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 27:

“Making this kind of decision is extraordinarily important to the functioning of our city government and should not have been rushed. To be clear: I have no issue with Kim Tolbert serving in an interim capacity. My problem is with this deeply flawed process, not with the person. There was no reason we needed to start off this way.

These decisions are too important to the future of our city to have been reduced to shameless politicking, maneuvering, and scheming. It sends absolutely the wrong messages to the public and to prospective candidates for this critical job. We should be catering to the people’s best interests, not special interests.” Photos: Kimberly Tolbert and Mayor Eric Johnson
