## Resource

On Saturday, voters will elect a new mayor in Frisco for the first time in nine years. Candidate Rod Vilhauer said on a podcast in March that South Asian immigrants were “moving in and out of Frisco like rats” and called Islam a “terrorist group.” In other news, as the Dallas Wings seek answers about when they can move their game-day home to downtown Dallas, the WNBA team has made progress on a new practice facility; New zoning for more than 3,300 acres in South Dallas, a continuation of a wide-ranging community vision, got the green light from Dallas City Council on Wednesday night; and Clark and Dan Hunt said their dad, Lamar, could not have fully fathomed what’s happening over the next four weeks with D-FW the epicenter of the World Cup.
