Why is new funding essential?
After recent state property tax cuts reduced our revenue by over $1 million annually (HB 24B-1001), the District must secure new funding to keep pace with rising emergency calls and service demands.
What the District is facing
+ Property tax cuts will cost the District $1M+ every year starting in 2026.
+ Reserves are being used to fill the gap— but that’s not sustainable.
+ With property taxes shrinking, new funding is critical to keep services strong.
