Impact analysis
Half the millage is about $1.5 million; the full amount about $3 million a year that wouldn't go to neighborhood roads and bridges.
Property taxpayers, including those whose roads might otherwise have been resurfaced this year.
Residents waiting on local road, sidewalk, culvert, or bridge repairs could see projects slip to future years.
