Vote YES for stronger & safer neighborhoods in every part of Garland.
“Garland is my home, and I want to see our community safe, strong, and thriving for generations to come. This innovative and fiscally responsible referendum is about investing in the people, places, and essential services that make Garland a community we’re proud to call home.”
Robert John Smith
Former Garland City Councilman
More police officers & firefighters.
Garland families deserve to feel safe in the community they call home. By voting YES for Proposition A, we can provide more resources for police, fire, and EMS and help Garland recruit and retain first responders and invest in the equipment and technology they need. Because when an emergency happens, every second counts.
Stronger parks, arts & libraries.
Prosperous Garland neighborhoods start with quality city services funded in a fiscally responsible manner. Proposition A offers a sustainable way to invest in essential services like parks, arts, libraries and animal shelters – protecting our quality of life today and building a stronger Garland for tomorrow.
Better roads & easier commutes.
Garland families deserve better roads, easier commutes, and more time for what matters. This referendum would invest in pothole repairs and transportation improvements that reduce congestion so we can spend less time stuck in traffic and more time at home.
A smart plan influenced by families like yours.
This vital ballot measure grew out of public meetings, City Council discussions, and direct input from Garland residents. It’s a community-driven plan designed to protect taxpayers, make responsible use of public dollars, and invest in the essential city services and infrastructure Garland needs to stay strong, safe, and thriving for years to come.
Address inflation-driven operating costs.
The cost of providing the essential services Garland families rely on every day continues to rise. This referendum provides a responsible, sustainable way to keep pace with inflation, protect vital city services, and maintain the quality and reliability residents expect — without placing the full burden on property taxpayers.
