People lined up Thursday morning to apply for Dallas County Section 8 housing vouchers. Dallas County sheriff's spokesman Kim Leach estimated the crowd at about 5,000.

The office at the Jesse Owens Memorial Complex*wasn't supposed to*open*until 8 a.m., but some applicants started lining up at 10 o'clock Wednesday night.

Health officials said they processed 4,000 to 5,000 applicants on Thursday morning, adding that as many as 15,000 could ask to be put on a list with only 3,800 vouchers available over the next few years.

And that is a state where employers move because there is no state tax ?

I saw this yesterday and all I could think of is what happened when they were doing the same thing down at Cobo Hall in Detroit last year. Complete zoo, people even getting hurt.
