Let me know if this is against the rules, if so I'll remove the post.

I read in the voter pamphlet the proponents take and opponents take on the renewal, but something didn't add up. Opponents mentioned that this levy would make our sidewalks, roads and bridges worse, but in the budget allocation there's funds for fixing sidewalks roads and bridges.

What am I missing here?

This is a great example of "Kettle logic", i.e. throwing out every argument and seeing what sticks.
