A new sales tax, which hits low-income shoppers hardest, for development projects no one has named.

No

City of Dallas

Prop A: $443M public safety bonds

Vote no.

Most of it, about $381M, builds evidence storage, a crime lab and training facilities, mainly for police. The language is broad enough that critics call it a blank check.

A

City of Garland

Prop A: $0.6799 tax rate

Vote yes.

Core city services and public worker pay: police, fire, 911 and parks staffing and roads. The rate is still below last year’s.

No

City of Plano

Prop A: Stars arena and venue taxes

Vote no.

Up to $700M in public taxes for a private team’s arena, with no financing plan, site plan or traffic study yet.

A

City of Wylie

Props A, B, D, E: streets, parks, public works, animal shelter

Vote yes.

Basic city infrastructure with named projects.

B

City of Wylie

Prop C: $25M public safety facilities

Vote yes, and stay engaged.

Real need, but the ballot names no specific facility.

B

Town of Flower Mound

Prop A: renew 0.25% street sales tax

Vote yes, and stay engaged.

Keeps an existing rate for street repair. Sales tax hits working families hardest, so every dollar should be accounted for.
