Governor John Kitzhaber’s proposed state budget for the 2015-17 biennium would provide a continuing level of funding for counties in Oregon.  Hood River County Administrator David Meriwether sees some positives in the area of public safety, with some more funding for community and juvenile corrections.  Meriwether says there are some tweaks in various budget areas, but overall it will be a continuing level of funding, which is welcome news after reductions the past few years.  He adds if the Oregon Supreme Court reverses reforms to the Public Employees Retirement System adopt by the Legislature there would be impacts on future budgets, but he does not expect that would change the upcoming biennium.
