Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson laid out three goals for the next four years in his inaugural address Tuesday — becoming the safest big city in America is number one.
His three goals for the next four years were property tax rate reduction, achieving the best park system in Texas and becoming “the” safest big city in the nation.“There’s a lot of work to do. There’s no question about it. We can’t do this alone. We need to make reinvestments in people and places around the city that I think we all recognize,” Garcia said.
“I don’t disagree that we need to focus on those things, but our city has a lot of needs. We have to also listen to the community members,” Resendez said. “We have to stick to the basics though, as far as our quality of life, driving down a smooth street, driving down a smooth alley. So we can’t let that get out of our sight,” Willis said.Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson delivers remarks on the day of his inauguration, June 20, 2023.
