The Dallas City Council passed a nearly $5 billion budget Wednesday, though some councilmembers argued the city should have done more to rein in spending and property taxes.
After the city of Dallas's budget has ballooned by a billion dollars in four years, some Dallas City Council members are working to rein in spending."We have to think about the pension," he said. "We don't have a safe city if we don't have a pension.""By making a cent reduction, we are providing relief," he said."We can't talk out of both sides, cut staff, cut services, and then expect a better city," she said."I have seen the data.
While there have been a lot of increases to staff since 2019, the number of police officers has remained about the same. Last year, city council members made a more sizable 2.75 cent cut, with less debate than this time around.
