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.
Dallas City Councilwoman Cara Mendelsohn is working to cut the increased city budget and to keep homeowners from facing higher tax bills.Mendelsohn also proposed to eliminate half of the jobs unfilled for more than six months. "The budget to hire is left up to the department to apply to overtime or part-time. It’s not a responsible way to account for taxpayer money," he said.In the end, Mendelhson's amendment was short by three votes.
"We cannot afford to replace all the programs funded through ARPA the last 2 years," said Councilman Paul Ridley.
