Salem, Oregon grapples with financial challenges stemming from the Loss of Tax Revenue due to state-owned land within its limits, prompting Representative Tom Andersen to introduce House Bill 4072. This legislation proposes a solution: a three-year pilot program to allocate up to $6 million annually from the state to offset the Loss of Tax Revenue caused by these state-owned properties. The funds would compensate Salem for essential services such as fire, police, and emergency medical assistance provided to state agencies based on their use of city land.
