This money is earmarked for a new road design and development. This is money that will be borrowed and paid back with interest. The city is already bonded for at least $ 1 4 million. Adding the new bond, the city debt could balloon to close to $ 1 9 million. In a city with approximately ap-proximately 2,500 homes (1,864 homes in 2004 population estimate), this is an equivalent debt load of $7,600 per household. While the city assures us that the majority of the bond and interest will be paid by collections from gas and road use taxes, a debt of this magnitude may well result in an increased in-creased property tax levy. In the middle of a recession, reces-sion, when people are losing jobs, homes, and their savings, please join us in calling members of the Highland City Council to encourage them to vote against this bond and more debt. Also ask them why this bond is not being voted on by all citizens in a bond election.
