Why it matters
Shows how Harris County manages our tax money wisely by moving unused jury pay funds back to services we all use like parks, libraries, and health programs instead of letting money sit unused.
If this passes
The $28,590 goes back into county services that help everyone, like parks and libraries. Nothing changes about how jury pay works for future jurors.
If this does not pass
The unused money would stay separate and not help fund county services that benefit all residents.
