Hillsborough County Commissioners had a lengthy discussion Wednesday over how to ask you to tax yourselves to pay for transportation via a 1% sales tax (which would make Hillsborough the highest in the state). Nobody said a peep about the lack of impact fees to developers that caused this mess in the first place.
An audit shows Hillsborough County impact fees may not cover a reasonable percentage of growth. Think anybody down at the County Commission will connect the dots to our road funding shortfalls? Or will they just happily ask you to tax yourself for these shortfalls and continue the developer welfare practices?
