The questions in total

13 local questions covered: 2 borrowing, 1 keeping extra revenue, 3 new tax or fee, 1 passenger rail tax and borrowing, 5 property tax increase, 1 tax extension.

Up to $39,695,000 in first-year tax increases, calculated from the figures seven questions state. Outside the total: 5A extends a $4 million a year override; 7E states no amount; 7F states only its 2034 amount; 7A's $295 million in the first year covers the whole rail district.

Up to $44,000,000 of borrowing, repayment up to $96,000,000, calculated from the figures 3G and 6E state; 6E's bonds also refinance existing district obligations. The rail district's $580 million of debt is outside the total.

I recommend a no vote on all thirteen.
