@penguinwrangler No surprise. City of Dallas is very corrupt. Has been a joke and run by jokers for quite a while.

Complexity due to the size of the systems? City of Dallas is NOT an enterprise environment. Not SMB, but c'mon. It's just a city system, if there is complexity, it's from incompetence.

Guaranteed it was something like that. Nobody goes around accusing city officials of being very bright.
