Pension obligations remain a wild card in Dallas' long-term finances
We can’t help but believe that her work led to a more thorough combing of city spending than we would have gotten otherwise. So far, the City Council found savings mainly by removing from the budget positions that have been vacant for at least a year, reducing the hiring goal for the police department from 290 to a more realistic target of 250. There were other cuts, at the margins, that we might not have seen absent Mendelsohn’s work.
Plenty of special-interest groups are already lobbying for a fat share of bond dollars. It’s worrisome that the city is going about its normal borrow-and-spend planning without openly debating how we are going to deal with the pension nightmare.
