  • TEXAS PUBLIC POLICY FOUNDATION RESEARCH JUNE 2022 by Vance Ginn, Ph.D.

    Dallas, TX
    Other

    This Texas Public Policy Foundation research brief from June 2022, authored by Chief Economist Vance Ginn and Policy Director James Quintero, argues that Dallas and Dallas County have grown their budgets faster than population growth plus inflation over the past decade, resulting in higher taxes for residents than necessary. The authors propose that both governments adopt a Responsible Local Budget standard capping spending growth at population growth plus inflation, either through voluntary ordinance or charter amendment. The brief recommends that the Texas Legislature pass a state-level spending growth limit for all local governments, requiring a two-thirds supermajority vote to exceed the population-plus-inflation threshold, similar to a 2021 state budget limit.
