Dallas has little Johnson available for city council business according to an article by KERA citing frequent absences and early departures.
It has led to another defeat at the horseshoe where he can not bring tax savings to local residents.
Per the KERA story, Mayor Johnson has missed more than 130 hours since 2019. This is more time than the next three city council members combined.
Per KERA, Mayor Johnson missed thirteen meetings in their entirety. No other member of city council has missed more than three.
Dallas Has Little Johnson – By The Numbers
In 2022, during the failed attempt to remove TC Broadnax as City Manager it was noted Mayor Johnson couldn’t count to eight.
Eight is the number of city council members voting needed for a majority. Some of the criticism of his vote whipping abilities is his part time status as mayor.
One critic said, “he doesn’t carry himself like an executive because he is there for the perks, not the people.”
Johnson’s inability to do anything meaningful shows again and again, whether it is trying to defund the bureaucracy or tame city hall.
His lack of vote counting acumen also cost him in several city council races in 2021.
