Milton Tobian:
A lifetime of making life better
If ever Dallas needed a councilman who can
bring people together in calm cooperation...
who can make other's lives better and more
optimistic... it is now
Milton Tobian has the experience and the
compassion to do both.
" Thanks to Milton Tobian, elected officials
can't keep us in the dark anymore. As Texas
director of Common Cause, he helped the
Texas Legislature become the first legislature
ever to pass a full package of reform assuring
open meetings and records.
" He has brought religious, social, racial, and
ethnic groups together for historic conferences
and personal negotiation as well.
*As a private citizen, he helped organize a state-
wide campaign that increased economic support
for the handicapped, aged and dependent
children.Milton Tobian is endorsed by

because we feel he would keep an open door.
We can talk to him. He's accessible and so
caring about the needs of the city. And we
know he has the time - 40 to 60 hours - to be
a good city councilman."

"It was clear to the CRG that Milton Tobian
has a thorough grasp of the problems facing
Dallas today and how to deal with them. We
endorsed him because he's prepared to start
right in as a qualified, informed, intelligent
member of the City Council."
-Dr. Syd Reagan, Vice President
Committee for Responsible Growth
" I've attended every City Council
meeting for 18 months.... If anybody
else but me is elected in Place 9, it will
be a year and a half before that person
knows as much as I do right now."
