The Latest Stories For You From Salem Reporter
Good morning, Salem!
We’ve spent weeks seeking answers for the community as to why a top police official was able to retire with an extra $53,500. But the Marion County District Attorney’s Office recently backed the city in keeping that information secret, while not addressing questions about an apparent conflict of interest.
Find below the column written by our editor, Les Zaitz, on the secrecy. Meantime, we’ll continue to press for clarity on a deputy police chief’s quiet departure from the city of Salem.
You can find all of our stories anytime by heading to our website. Here are today’s headlines.
