Special-district powers, geography, terms and finances come from the law creating or governing the district. Candidate promises should identify the exact authority, tax or fee impact, service area, capital plan, oversight and performance measures.
No score or endorsement is assigned. A voter should rely on the exact sample ballot and district notices, not a statewide assumption about which special district applies.
