Klickitat County Considers Sales Tax For Law Enforcement

The Klickitat County Commission discussed the potential for levying a one-tenth of one percent to three-tenths of one percent sales tax for drug enforcement with representatives from the Klickitat County Sheriff’s Office and the Goldendale and White Salmon-Bingen police departments at a recent worksession.  Commissioner Rex Johnston noted the law enforcement groups have been asking about the one-tenths of one percent increase, but Commissioners questioned whether that would be enough to address the issue, and have asked them to report back with a more specific list of needs.  Johnston emphasized the Commission would get public input either through a hearing or a vote before making any decision.
