GENERAL OBJECTION TO THE CREATION OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS
The creation of additional economic development districts expands layers of government with independent funding mechanisms that often operate with limited transparency and accountability. These districts can divert tax revenue away from core public services while concentrating decision-making in unelected or lightly supervised bodies.

GENERAL OBJECTION TO SPECIAL DISTRICTS
Special districts already represent an expansion of specialized governmental authority, often operating with independent funding and limited oversight. Special district within the boundaries of an existing political subdivision add another layer of government with overlapping authority, funding, and responsibility. This fragmentation reduces transparency and makes it more difficult for citizens to understand who is accountable for decisions and spending. The legislature should avoid creating parallel governing structures where existing local government already has jurisdiction.
