Impact analysis
If these properties leave, the city loses their tax revenue, which could mean higher bills or fewer services for the rest of us.
The Erda property owners stand to gain the most by potentially lowering their tax rates and distancing themselves from city regulations.
Remaining Tooele residents might get stuck footing the bill for city services that were previously supported by the disconnected properties.
