The Oregon legislature is considering a bill which would make state agencies pay a fee to compensate the city of Salem for fire, police and emergency medical services. The proposal would require paying roughly $6 million a year to the city, and would launch as a three-year pilot project this year if approved by lawmakers. Supporters say the payment is needed since Salem misses out on millions in tax revenue from state-owned land even though those agencies rely on city services. Whitney Woodworth is a reporter for the Statesman Journal and has covered the proposal. She joins us with details.
