This whole argument is manufactured. Put the puzzle together . Not all people get the same benefit from taxes collected. Those that live on dirt roads with no sidewalks could argue that they are not being treated the same as those on boulevards that are paved lighted and mowed. If we were all paying the same taxes the argument may have some validity.
Also, if the county accepts responsibility of roads and facilities, there should be some good faith that their acceptance includes certain standards. Lighting, Materials, maintenance etc. They can't in good faith say that they will no longer pave and revert to dirt roads. I would guess that could happen but voters might be an impact.
