IN SUPPORT OF MEASURE 24-80

Measure #24-80 is a five year local option levy that is necessary to insure that our parks provide the level of service we intend them to.

Responsible planning and development requires adequate operation and maintenance of new facilities. This measure guarantees that, and also allows the city a five-year jump start on planning and budgeting.

Measure #24-80 makes good fiscal sense for Salem and deserves your “YES” vote!

“Parks for families to share an outdoor experience are critical to the livability of our community.
