Residents in Pinal County want more roads and Pinal County elected officials hope a proposed sales tax increase will pay for those projects.
This November, voters will be asked to vote on two propositions, 416 and 417, that will allow a half-cent sales tax increase to be collected to fund a specific list of county wide transportation projects.
The half-cent sales tax increase will have a 20 year life span, is estimated to cost less than 25 cents per day and is expected to raise more than $640 million for the proposed road projects.
