The Dallas City Council voted last year to approve a $3.8 billion budget for the fiscal year 2020-2021. The police department’s $500 million budget will remain mostly intact, despite calls from residents and activists to slash $200 million from the police. This year residents are asking to divert funds again.
Dallas city leaders are hosting a series of town hall meetings this week where they invited residents to weigh in on next year s city budget. There will be another opportunity for Dallasites to share their views on the budget at Wednesday s city council meeting.
