But Supervisor Jim Kuhn says, the longer they wait, the more the project will end up costing county taxpayers.
Kuhn and seven other supervisors who voted for the project are targeted for recall, as is the county board chair, on November 3rd. Kuhn says the core group of opponents has opposed similar proposals going back for at least the last nine years, when he began his service on the board.
