Venice debates funding roads through bonds and taxes
Transportation director favors in house work with major resurfacing by contractors. A one cent county gas tax could raise 750000 yearly, with funds from multiple sources. Occupation tax is debated though city and chamber oppose its use for roads. A 1 percent sales tax could fund the 100 million bond. Joint meeting planned to pursue consolidation while avoiding loss of local control.
