County Budget Faces Wages Freeze Amid Forest Revenue Decline
County Commissioner Woody Robison warns of wage freezes for county employees as forest revenues are projected to fall by 25 percent in the coming fiscal year. He notes unions have not responded to talks, and adds that the budget committee will choose which services to cut while considering total forest income possibly dropping by up to 750,000 dollars from the previous year’s 10 million budget.

Translator districts to bypass cable hit legal roadblock
Myrtle Point shop owner Dick Barklow and Coos County residents seek translator districts as an alternative to cable. Oregon's 1975 law restricts funding via property taxes and lacks bonding authority, hampering creation of non profit districts with UHF and VHF towers. Local officials acknowledge the need but favor law changes.
