Your Wednesday evening update on Salem news
Good evening, Salem.
Do you want a hand in deciding how the city of Salem confronts its budget challenges?

The task force is charged with “explor(ing) new, additional revenue sources and adjustment to fees to sustain those services that do not have a dedicated revenue stream,” according to the city.
Members will work with the city’s budget committee and the council as the 2024-25 budget is developed.
Prospective members must apply by Jan. 4, and the city council will select members on Jan. 22. Find out more and apply here.
