You know what? Why don't you start putting on the ballot like the Dallas City Council has to do and like many other city councils around Texas have to do? Why don't you put your salary cost of living adjustment on the ballot if you're so committed to democracy and listening to the voters and giving the voters the opportunity to choose? Why don't you put your salary up there and your auto stipend? Why don't you put that question up there? Should the Dallas County Commissioners and COVID Clay, the judge, should they be able to get an auto stipend of almost 700 bucks per year? Should we have to pay for that as taxpayers? Are you getting an auto stipend? To drive to work, but you get to pay for somebody else's auto stipend.
