Dallas city budget input 2022 starts tomorrow. The City of Dallas is seeking input from residents on the upcoming Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget.
Two years ago, a progressive group led by Adam Bazaldua, asked for $77M to be removed from the Dallas police budget without city input. In the end they settled for $7M in lost overtime.
That move was described as a budgetary gimmick by some.
Since that time though violent crime has skyrocketed in Dallas making it more dangerous than other cities on a per capita basis.
