No Casinos in Dallas - Save City Hall and the downtown Dallas Public Library


No Casinos in Dallas - Save City Hall and the downtown Dallas Public Library
The Issue
Selling City Hall to developers allows the Dallas City Council to turn around and sell city property, including our City Hall and our Public Library, to a casino or a casino/stadium.
Who owns Dallas city property? We do - the citizens and taxpayers. These are our buildings.
The Dallas City Council has refused its duty to maintain the buildings over decades, but they keep inflating the numbers of how much it will cost to repair it. And they are not taking into account how costly it will be to move staff and equipment to another building that we will then pay rent on.
We just built the Mavericks a new stadium - they don't need a new one.
We don't want gambling downtown - we want walkable neighborhoods and accessible public libraries.
We want to keep our city property, not undersell it so that billionaires can get richer.
