JURY IS STILL OUT ON CONTESTED WONDER VALLEY ROAD TAX

Wonder Valley residents who expected the fate of a proposed special tax for road maintenance would be settled at yesterday’s Board of Supervisor’s meeting in San Bernardino will have to wait another month for answers. Supervisors were expected to declare official the results of a special election held in Wonder Valley last month. Voters there approved creation of a district that would tax each parcel $55 for 2014-15 and $30 annually with a 2.5 percent inflationary factor starting next year. Speakers on either side of the issue made their case to the Board, many complaining of confusing procedures prior to and during the election. Supervisors found the issue confusing as well, enough to unanimously approve continuing the matter until the September 24 meeting to allow more time to look at the matter. The move gives those opposing the special tax extra time to collect the approximate fifty additional letters needed to kill the plan.
