New tonight. The Texas Supreme Court says Dallas needs to remove three proposals from the November ballot. The case is complicated. So let's walk you through what's going to happen here. A citizen led group petitioned to add these three amendments to the ballot. One require Dallas to increase police pay and hire more officers. Two put the city manager on a performance based pay and three allow citizens to sue city officials if they do not follow the law. But city council members sounded the alarm. They called the proposals fiscally irresponsible and added their own three amendments clarifying that the council has final say on how to allocate city money. The citizen led then sued and in a 16 page opinion tonight, the court wrote the propositions contradict each other and the ballot language as a whole will confuse and mislead voters essentially that means the city will have to remove its amendments while the citizen led proposals stay on. Dallas, voters have the final say on November 5th.
