The Wasco County Commission heard opinions on Measure 97 Wednesday, but they won’t be offering any position as a group. Commissioners had received a request to pass a resolution opposing the measure that would place a gross sales tax on companies generating 25 million dollars in annual sales in the state. But Commission Chair Rod Runyon noted they were advised by County Counsel and the Oregon Association of Counties that state law prohibits them from passing any kind of resolution on a ballot measure. The meeting did provide a forum for people to express opinions on Measure 97, with many in opposition to it, but there was some who spoke in favor of the proposal.
