Former Dallas city councilman James Fantroy died on Sunday
DALLAS — Former Dallas city councilman James Fantroy, 71, died on Sunday after battling kidney cancer for four years.
Fantroy, who represented District 8 in south Dallas from 2000 to 2007, left office discredited after being involved in a scandal in which he stole money from the Paul Quinn College community development corporation -- for which he refused to acknowledge he was guilty.

I met James Fantroy, when he was visiting another Dallas City Hall legend, Al Lipscomb at St. Paul Hospital years ago. James was a great man, had a couple of problems, but who does'nt while in public office. He made a huge difference in the southern sector, period. I have always respected him and I still respect Al Lipscomb for standing up to what he believes is right. God Bless James. Hang in there Al!
