Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The quarter-cent sales tax was established in 1999 to support critical regional water and wastewater infrastructure. Previously, tax revenues were forwarded to SNWA and then disbursed based on population formulas, with Mesquite receiving an allocation that was split between the municipal government and the Virgin Valley Water District. The new contract changes this administrative process.
