Random financial thought:
The average starting salary for an incoming assistant DA in 2007 (best numbers I could quickly find) was $56,000. Let's adjust it conservatively upwards to $60,000. You're looking at $1.2 million a year in salaries alone. Throw in benefits, retirement, support staff, office space, and supplies and that's a ton of taxpayer money.
I was curious what the total budget was for the Dallas DA's office, but for the life of me I couldn't find it.
