The <br />accompanying document is a compilation of comments from members of the group that <br />have been reviewed, edited or synthesized where appropriate, and voted upon by the <br />group for inclusion in our initial report to the Board of Commissioners. <br />We appreciate your taking the time to review our comments as you prepare to make this <br />important choice regarding Orange County's future revenue structure. Whatever you <br />decide, our Committee stands ready to communicate the implications of that decision to <br />Orange County voters during the next several months. <br />Attachment - Pros/Cons/Observations on Local Revenue Options <br />cc: Laura Blackmon, County Manager <br />Donna Coffey, Budget Director <br />Rod Visser, Project Manager
