The Northern Oregon Regional Corrections Facility that serves Hood River, Wasco, Sherman, and Gilliam counties is dealing with increasing expenses along with a drop in revenues as the result of contracts with other jurisdictions to use NORCOR no longer bringing the dollars they once did. Board member and Hood River County Commissioner Ed Weathers says one of the problems with reliance on contracts is how the revenues have ebbed and flowed, and because of that currently expenses are well above the money coming in. NORCOR’s by-laws call for Wasco County to provide 50 percent of county-provided funds, Hood River County 40 percent, and Sherman and Gilliam counties five percent each. Weathers hopes they can reach a permanent solution for the revenue issue, and a number of options will be on the table.
