Marion ballot question concerns financing for parks, land conservation

The Nov. 3 general election ballot includes a question for all Marion County voters: Do they want to allow county government to authorize up to $140 million in general obligation bonds? The bonds would help fund countywide parks, trails, water resource protection and land conservation projects, as well as protect drinking water sources, springs, rivers and lakes. According to a summary prepared by county government, if this measure is approved, the county could issue the bonds, with repayment supported by a countywide ad valorem tax capped at 0.35 mill. "Voter approval would not automatically create debt," the summary says. "A vote in favor of the referendum would authorize, but would not require, the county to issue the bonds." Also: "The resolution does not identify specific properties for acquisition or specific construction projects," the summary says. "Any future land acquisition would require separate county commission approval and applicable due diligence, including appraisal, title, environmental, and closing requirements." The ballot question calls for accountability measures such as a county-generated online report or dashboard updated at least quarterly, as well as additional oversight through the Parks and Recreation Advisory Council. A privately funded, citizen-run political committee called Protect Marion 2026 is supporting the
