The Lone Star Conservative Action Fund paid for campaign signs for three Irving city council candidates running in the May election.

The petition was filed a month after the Irving City Council approved rezoning for a destination resort near the site where Texas Stadium once stood.

Strong thunderstorms with gusts over 70 mph damaged apartments, schools and RVs.
