WFAA | Ex-Dallas mayor takes a stand against 3 props on this year's ballot | Y'all-itics: Oct. 13, 2024 @Wfaa8 | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 11 hours ago.
When have three letters ever caused such a stink? Propositions S, T and U on the November 5 ballot in Dallas would, among other things, force the city of Dallas to hire more police officers and open city leaders up to citizen-led lawsuits. Dozens of former mayors and city leaders recently came out against the propositions, arguing they would cripple Dallas for years, if not decades.
In this episode of Y’all-itics, former Dallas Mayor Ron Kirk tells the Jasons why he thinks passing the charter amendments would be like rolling a hand grenade into City Hall and destroying it, and why the effort to fight them isn’t too little, too late.

Ron Kirk, Former Dallas Mayor
