there is no possible way the county could do worse
County already can't maintain the roads it has, even with regular tax increases and hiring of additional staff.
Consider: once the roads are upgraded, property values will increase, resulting in higher taxation even though the improvements were privately funded. Argue that "property taxes don't pay for roads" if you will -- roads are funded by fuel tax revenue, which everyone already pays.
This means you pay fuel tax (for public roads) then pay road dues (for your private roads) then pay County management (to make sure you pay for your private roads) in order to earn the privilege of paying higher property tax.
Not why I moved here. No way I'm moving back to Trump's version of America. How does it go? "New Zealand, Canada, France, your rent unpaid, your ideals in advance"
