Dallas City Leaders Are Postponing Changes to the City Charter
SUMMARY: Last week, Dallas City Council members postponed votes on two significant issues. One vote related to the decriminalization of small amounts of marijuana; supporters gathered 50,000 signatures, potentially qualifying it for the ballot. Another proposal, aiming to ban horse-drawn carriages due to concerns about horse health and safety, was sent back to committee. The ban would influence only one permitted business, prompting discussion on its necessity. Despite the delays, activism in the community continues to influence council decisions.
