A radical proposal: Service Cuts now to invest in the future

I Testified at Corvallis City Council Budget planning session that we need to help fix our property tax problem by investing in Economic Development, even if it means having to reduce next year’s spending on some our quality of life services like libraries, parks and pools…because if we don’t grow our shrinking economic base, there won’t be anything next year or the year after to fund those parks, libraries and pools.
