Impact analysis
Roughly $3.2 million in federal money is at risk of going back to Washington if not redirected by year-end.
Taxpayers benefit if the money is redirected to county needs like jail staffing instead of returned to the federal government.
Residents in areas still awaiting promised broadband expansion from the contract.
