SUMMARY: Dallas voters may soon decide on a significant pay raise for council members through a charter amendment requiring voter approval. Currently earning $60,000 annually without a raise since 2014, the proposal could potentially double their salaries to $125,000, and $145,000 for the mayor. While most council members debated the increase as too high, others argued it's necessary since the role is essentially full-time. Alternative proposals included a more moderate increase to $78,900. Some opposed any raise due to the city's $38 million budget shortfall and underfunded pensions for retired police and firefighters. The final decision will be made by voters in November.

The Dallas City Council on Wednesday debated a pay structure change that would give them a significant raise. The charter amendment would require voter approval.

Biden, Trump react to presidential immunity ruling

Published

SUMMARY: President Biden condemned a US Supreme Court ruling that grants former presidents, including Trump, broad immunity for official acts while in office. This decision could significantly impact federal prosecutors in Trump's election interference case by requiring them to differentiate between official and unofficial conduct. The Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling suggests that presidents have almost unrestricted power for official acts, with Biden warning that it sets a dangerous precedent. Trump hailed the decision as a victory for democracy. The ruling may also affect Trump's other criminal cases, such as those concerning classified documents and election subversion. Trump's attorneys plan to challenge his hush money conviction based on this new immunity ruling.

President Joe Biden condemned the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling that granted former President Donald Trump and other presidents certain immunity for official acts while in office. Meanwhile, Trump called the decision a “big win for our constitution and democracy.”

SUMMARY: The family of Anthony Johnson Jr., who died at Taran County Jail, plans to speak after two jailers faced charges related to his death. Jailers Raphael Moreno and Joel Garcia are out on bond after turning themselves in on murder warrants. Footage shows Moreno with his knee on Johnson's back during a contraband check, violating policies and resulting in Johnson's death by asphyxiation. Garcia recorded the incident, delaying medical help. Johnson, a veteran with mental illness, was jailed for erratic behavior. Garcia's attorneys believe a jury will find him innocent. The medical examiner ruled the death a homicide with methamphetamine as a contributing factor.

The family of an inmate who died at the Tarrant County jail earlier this year plans to speak out for the first time since two jailers were charged in connection to his death. Those two jailers are now out on bond.
