What Dallas’ new City Council must get right | Opinion
There aren’t enough police officers. There are too many potholes. The traffic lights go on the blink when it rains. The public safety pension is in trouble. Even the garbage has been left sitting.
The new council needs to put its energy and focus into addressing basic services before it signs off on massive social programs that the city has proved it isn’t very good at in the first place.and a host of other efforts that are well outside of the scope of what taxpayers have charged the city to accomplish.
The City Council will provide the greatest opportunities to all of our residents, at every income level, by making sure neighborhoods are safe, that kids can play outside wherever they live, that the parks are well-maintained and the recreation centers and libraries are open. They need to make sure that the permitting and code inspections offices function as well as those in the best suburbs.
