MCBA Members Prepare to Vote for Their Community

Dallas residents are getting political texts and phone calls urging them to vote for the city's $1.25 billion bond proposal in May, when turnout is typically low.

Voters must approve all 10 propositions for the full $1.25 billion in bond money to be distributed.

Nearly half of the money — $516.5 million in Proposition A — would fund repairs to streets, sidewalks, bikeways and other transportation projects.
The rest — spread across nine other propositions — would create new parks, build a new police training academy, develop affordable housing, fix city libraries and update aging arts facilities.

MCBA's Capital Bond Transparency Recommendations

On Friday, March 8, MCBA President and CEO Louis Darrouzet submitted an official letter containing seven recommendations for transparency and expenditure as a response to the city's proposed $1.25 billion Capital Bond. The city council's proposal should deeply concern the business community and all Dallas taxpayers, as it will place the city in an unsustainable financial position for years to come. Read the MCBA letter here.

About 231,000 voters in Dallas, Denton, Collin, and Tarrant Counties have voted early in person this election, according to the Secretary of State’s office.

Dallas has the lowest turnout going into Super Tuesday — less than 5% of voters have cast early ballots so far.

Texans will decide on their presidential candidates next week, as well as candidates for the U.S. Senate and House, and state representatives.
