Summary
The county needs about $1.2 billion more per year — $559M just to keep up with maintenance on what it already owns, plus $700M for new capacity and upgrades. The workgroup says impact taxes don't work and the county should prioritize existing revenue, possibly with a targeted property tax increase.
