Klickitat County Using Reserves To Pay Employees During Pandemic

Klickitat County has had a cash reserve of over $23 million, and it is being used during the COVID-19 pandemic.  Commissioner Jim Sizemore says they have been using it to cover wages and benefits for all of the County’s employees.  He said they can keep doing that for a while, but they’d like to see an end in sight so they can conduct business normally.  Of course that could be in the hands of state officials.  Sizemore says County officials have not been briefed at this point on a framework for the state to reopen its economy.
