This section follows Arlington city hall and the Tarrant County commissioners court, Arlington ISD, Mansfield ISD and Hurst-Euless-Bedford ISD, and the entertainment, sports and logistics employers that define the local economy. From Downtown Arlington and Viridian to Dalworthington Gardens, Pantego and Southwest Arlington, neighborhood coverage runs across the city and extends into Dallas County, Denton County, Collin County and Johnson County where a story crosses the line. The Texas Rangers, Dallas Cowboys and Dallas Wings, along with the stadiums and arenas that host them, are among the most closely watched subjects in local government coverage, given the public financing and land-use decisions tied to each franchise. Arlington's position at the center of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex makes regional transportation and infrastructure decisions a recurring local subject even when the decisions themselves are made by other jurisdictions.
