Mayor Mike Rawlings

We have an urgent fight on our hands, friends.

Dallas Propositions S, T & U on the November ballot are a grave threat to so much that we hold dear in this town. If passed, these proposals would force deep budget cuts to fire, EMS, parks, streets, arts, and homelessness, among others.

This package, drafted and funded by a group of non-Dallas residents, may sound good at first. But it is nothing more than a chocolate-covered piece of rat poison.

Props S, T & U would force the city to immediately hire 900 cops. We all want more police, but this is not the way to do it, nor is it even possible.

When the city fails to meet that quota, the S, T & U package allows for anyone to sue the city over it, costing us millions in taxpayer funds.

Head over to votenodallas.com to learn more about these harmful proposals and what you can do to help us defeat them.

Micki and I are devastated to learn of Alan’s passing. I met Alan more than 25 years ago when I was an ad executive. We remained friends over the years. He was always a gentleman and he cherished the job he had at The Dallas Morning News for 30 years. We will miss him. Dallas will miss him.

Dallas has faced some adversities in the last several years - from Ebola and the Dallas police ambush to opening up shelters to help victims of Hurricane Harvey. People often ask, “how do you lead during trying times?” By having a strong support system - our faith community. These are the faith leaders who I can call on anytime for counsel. They pray, volunteer, provide resources and much more.
