SUMMARY: On November 5, Dallas voters will decide on numerous ballot propositions aimed at amending the city charter. Key items include salary increases for the mayor and city council, enhanced eminent domain powers, and measures to limit police enforcement of marijuana offenses. The propositions also propose eliminating certain voter registration requirements for city board members, establishing Dallas as a diversity, equity, and inclusion city, and allowing residents to sue the city for charter violations. Additionally, some propositions intend to modify the petition process for initiatives and adjust budget disclosure mandates. Approval may lead to higher taxes and spending shifts.
