Dallas voters decide on 3 controversial amendments

S, T, and U could change the city's public safety requirements. FOX 4's Payton May is live at the polls with updates.

One of the big races in Dallas are the HERO amendments.

Proposition S, T and U were put on the ballot after thousands of Dallas voters signed a petition.

If passed, the proposals would require the city to increase police pay and hire more officers, put the city manager on performance-based pay, and allow citizens to sue city officials if they don't follow the law.

Dallas officials say the proposals will cost the city tens of millions of dollars in funding and lead to cuts in city services.

Dallas HERO argues that the measures will hold government officials accountable and cut back on unnecessary spending.
