Broward voters approved a 1 percent 30-year surtax to reduce traffic congestion and improve roads, bridges and other infrastructure. Broward Commissioner Beam Furr, who was mayor when voters approved the tax in 2018, writes that the Oversight Board was one of the safeguards the county commission itself put into place to assure taxpayers that the money being invested in infrastructure is being spent properly and according to plan.
