Good morning, Salem.

It’s the last day to weigh in on our survey about the city’s proposed cuts to services if the payroll tax fails in the November election.

Read more about the proposed cuts here and the council discussion of them here.

We want to know which cuts concern you the most, and what steps you would take to balance the budget.

We intend to publish the results of this poll in a future story and will use it to inform our reporting. We’ve received over 320 responses so far.

Here’s the link to the survey.
