A strong community needs Public Safety Levy
Citing the benefits to community enrichment of the public safety levy passed five years ago, and the desire to continue to support those outcomes, the Chamber Board of Directors voted unanimously to support the Clackamas County Sheriff Public Safety Local Option Levy on the November 8 ballot. The measure renews the expiring public safety levy approved by voters in 2006 and will not increase taxes. The Citizens for a Safer Clackamas County requests your support in the attached letter.
