The Latest Stories For You From Salem Reporter
Good morning, Salem.
It’s Election Day, and ballots are due by 8 p.m. tonight. Ballots must be postmarked or returned to a dropbox or county election’s office by the deadline.
As of Friday, Nov. 3, just over 20% of the 18,257 registered Salem voters have turned in their ballots. The election will decide whether to approve or reject a 0.814% tax on wages earned within city limits that would sustain and expand police, fire and homeless sheltering services. The tax would cost an average of $42.19 a month or $506.24 per year for someone who makes $29.90 an hour, which is the average wage for Salem workers.
Salem Reporter has compiled its previous coverage of the tax here. Read here for our answers to frequently asked questions about the tax.
