SUMMARY FINDINGS
TAX)^
—I( ® ))
Taxation is excessive
While the DDA is funded primarily by
taxing residents, those very residents
question what the return on
investment is, even as they are aware
the burden on them is rising.
There is too much waste
Residents feel public money
should serve public needs.

Lack of impact
There is a disconnect between the
DDA's priorities and community
needs.
