To FS's point, how many of the voting residents have million dollar lake homes?

The appeal from either side needs to be toward the voting center. They will be the ones that actually make such a decision.
In any of the voting districts, those are the people that actually set the policy and spending for the future.

So the $400K home owner that votes, may not want to spend $200 to $400 per year for something they feel they will never use.

Its all about appealing to the voters.
