Hood River County Commissioners held another worksession to discuss where they are in examining the county’s budget and revenue challenges, and it has become clear they won’t be advancing a ballot measure in November.  Commissioners are continuing to hold focus group meetings and gather data to determine a course of action that could range from a public safety levy to some kind of sales tax geared toward the tourist industry.  Commission Chair Ron Rivers says the target date at this point is May 2019.  County Commissioners did tell staff to prepare an ordinance for the County to take advantage of the state allowing local governments to establish a three percent tax on the retail sale of recreational marijuana.  That will come to Commission at a future meeting this summer.
