Hamilton estimates a $1 million bond would raise about $3 a year in property taxes for a $50 000 home, funding park land and maintenance. He notes 6 of 27 cents per $1 000 levy would back bonds, with 10 or 15 year repayment under review. He cites Cedar Rapids and Marion as supporters and says private groups should be screened.
