HR County Schedules Hearing On Community ID Card

The Hood River County Commission has scheduled a public hearing for June 18 at 6 p.m. on a community identification card program that has been backed by a citizen group including Gorge Ecumenical Ministries.  Proponents say some county residents lack a form of official identification, restricting access to some services.  County Commissioners have had concerns about costs and liability.  Administrator David Hecksel says those have been answered through using a third party provider, the Next Door.  The community ID card would not be considered a valid form of identification for state or federal purposes, but the County would accept it and others could do so voluntarily.
