DART is facing one of the most consequential periods in its history.
Withdrawal elections are advancing. Governance disputes remain unresolved. Public safety remains under scrutiny. And in the middle of it all, Board Chair Randall Bryant sat down with The Dallas Express for a full, one-hour interview.
