Ballot Box Ends City Immunity

Dallas voters approved Proposition S, allowing residents to sue the city by stripping its governmental immunity — reportedly the first U.S. city to do so. The measure creates a citizen‑enforcement path to block policies in court, alongside a mandated police headcount that is already forcing budget tradeoffs. — Turning municipal immunity into a ballot issue foreshadows a new wave of local lawfare that can paralyze city policy, reallocate budgets, and export Texas‑style 'citizen enforcement' beyond state statutes.
