Impact analysis
We’re likely looking at a tax hike or a major budget reshuffle to pay for more deputies and keep response times down.
Residents and business owners will benefit from faster emergency response times and a more visible police presence.
Taxpayers will likely feel the pinch in their wallets if the county decides to raise taxes to cover the cost of new hires.
