Dallas HERO

Dallas County Republicans United is supporting Dallas HERO – a citizen-led organization that is supporting 3 Amendments to the City of Dallas Charter. These Amendments will appear on your ballot this election cycle as Propositions S, T and U. The focus of the Amendments is holding the City of Dallas accountable to its citizens (S), awarding incentives to the Dallas City Manager based on the citizens’ satisfaction of his or her performance (T), and, most importantly, prioritizing public safety by providing additional resources and manpower to our current police force (U). Please consider voting yes to these three propositions.

Subject: Why your Vote YES for S, T, & U Matters!

Election Day is here! There are many issues at stake on November 5th, but none will impact the Dallas community as directly as the last three Propositions on your ballot: S, T, and U.

170,000 Dallas citizens joined together to put Propositions S, T, and U on the ballot to hand Dallas voters back the reins on public safety and accountability of our city leaders.

VOTE YES FOR PROPS S, T, & U NOVEMBER 5TH

As crime increases in Dallas driving families and businesses to suburbs, our elected officials at city hall sit back and claim they are helpless to stop it. The city has lost billions in the Police and Fire pension fund to mismanagement; response time to deadly violent crimes can take hours; there is no response to property crime; we have no traffic police and there is no deterrent to violent crime. Why can’t we retain good officers? DPD starting salary is $12,000 below Plano.

After years of excuses, Dallas residents said Enough is Enough!

Our city deserves and demands an officer to citizen ratio of 3 per 1000. City managers have consistently failed to meet that threshold required in our law. These charter amendments will require them to take immediate corrective action.

Proposition S: Gives We, the people, the power to enforce laws in the courts when city leaders in government violate the law. Elected officials are given a 60 day-notice, and if still non-compliant, the courts can enforce the law. Prop S does NOT allow money damages in lawsuits.
Proposition T: The end of broken promises. Prop T correlates the City Manager's compensation to the IMPACT on crime, streets/infrastructure, homelessness, litter and aggressive panhandling based on the findings of the citizen survey.
Proposition U: Understaffed police force leaves our city at risk. Officers leave Dallas to work for neighboring departments or leave the force entirely, at an alarming rate. Prop U plans the increase of 900 officers over 3-5 YEARS to recruit, properly train, and deploy additional officers, thus upholding the minimum of 3 police per 1000 residents (currently falling at 2.2/1000).

These amendments are funded by 50% of the city’s new revenue so they will NOT raise your taxes, will not strain the budget, and will not affect existing programs. Properly staffing the police force to the minimum is 1% of the annual budget of more than $5 billion. These amendments are more than just public safety; they’re about reclaiming our city from political mismanagement. Corrupt politicians have pushed our police force away and have left us exposed. Voting YES FOR the last three propositions, S, T, and U will restore the police force in Dallas.

Vote “YES” FOR Propositions S, T, and U on November 5th to ensure a safer, stronger future for our Dallas.

Thank you!
