WITHIN THE COUNTY, AT A RATE OR IN AN AMOUNT SUFFICIENT TO PROVIDE FOR OR
ASSURE THE PAYMENT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF AND INTEREST ON THE BONDS WHEN
AND AS THEY BECOME DUE AND PAYABLE.
(II) IF THE PROCEEDS OF TAXES LEVIED IN ANY FISCAL YEAR
PROVE INADEQUATE FOR THE PAYMENT, THE COUNTY SHALL LEVY OR CAUSE TO BE

(G) TAX-EXEMPT STATUS.
