Would you pay higher taxes for better freeways?

On November 7, 2017, Pinal County residents will be asked to vote on two ballot items that the Pinal County Board of Supervisors, the Pinal County Sheriff and the Pinal County Attorney believe will solve Pinal County’s current transportation problems and future challenges.
Prop 416 is the transportation plan, Prop 417 is the funding source and together they would bring in $640 million worth of new roads and freeways in Pinal County.
As is typical with most ballot items, there is some confusion as to which roads Prop 416 and 417 will repair or build. Many residents when asked about the transportation plan believe that this plan will repair existing roadways in areas such as San Tan Valley. One resident in Copper Basin believes that this funding would extend Judd to Gantzel so he would have another way out of his community. Another resident in Ironwood Crossings understood that this funding would extend Germann to Ironwood and still others are relieved that Hunt Hwy is finally going to be finished, if these propositions pass.
