Timber Tax Fairness for Counties, Water and Forests
Invitation to Coos, Curry, Josephine and Douglas,
October 21, 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm
- Why can’t counties afford essential services including fire response?
- What do large timberland owners contribute to county needs?
- What’s happening in our drinking watersheds?
These fundamentally linked issues lie at the heart of any effort to better serve Oregon’s rural counties and to better protect our watersheds. Join us for a community conversation about revenue restoration, tax fairness, funding essential local services and protecting our drinking water. The presentation will be followed by the opportunity to ask the experts these questions and discuss possible solutions.
