📰 News we're reading

• Coburg councilors to continue discussion about public-safety funding (lookouteugene-springfield.com) — Florence residents already paying a $15 monthly public safety fee may want to watch Coburg’s next move, as that city now relies on a similar utility-based charge to keep its small police force intact. Coburg leaders are debating whether a future property tax levy should replace or supplement the new fee, amid broader Lane County struggles to fund law enforcement and voter resistance to higher taxes.
