Dallas City Council prioritizes 'equity' by favoring tax increases
The Dallas City Council's decision to reject a motion for lowering the property tax rate in favor of "equity" considerations has sparked a contentious debate, The Dallas Express reported. Despite Council Member Cara Mendelsohn's plea for "fiscal restraint," the majority of council members voted to establish a property tax ceiling of $0.7358 per $100 valuation, with Council Member Carolyn King Arnold emphasizing that this rate was crucial for the well-being of historically underserved communities.
