The Latest Stories For You From Salem Reporter
Good morning, Salem.
If you’ve ever called the public works department in the City of Salem, there’s a good chance you’ve already met longtime city employee Bill Fear.
After winning an award from the city for his work during this summer’s heatwave, he spoke with Salem Reporter about his three decade career in wastewater treatment, clean ups and even an anthrax scare.
Don’t forget it’s Veteran’s Day today – local and state government offices will be closed in honor of Oregon veterans. We’ll have a story for you later today from an event honoring those who served with quilts.
You can find all of our stories anytime by heading to our website.
