Impact analysis
Roughly $400 million in capital spending deferred or reduced over six years.
Projects that keep schedules — Damascus High School, Eastern Middle School, the Fourth District police station — move ahead.
Communities waiting on libraries, pools, bridges, road resurfacing and four elementary school rebuilds wait longer.
