Proposed 12-cent increase per $1,000 of assessed value in county s local option property tax will come before voters in May
Clackamas County commissioners were split over whether to send a proposed increase of the local option public-safety levy to voters on the May ballot.
In a purely symbolic vote, commissioners decided 3-2 to support Clackamas Sheriff Angela Brandenburg s proposal to increase the levy by 12 cents. County Chair Tootie Smith, who ran for chair on a campaign of ensuring county public safety is well-funded, and Commissioner Mark Shull, who was appointed board liaison for public safety earlier this week, were the two Nay votes.
