Wasco County Commissioners have set a public hearing on a proposed road district for July 16 in Maupin. Commissioners moved ahead with setting the date after the community of Shaniko opted into the district, following similar actions by Dufur, Maupin, and Antelope. The Dalles and Mosier have decided not to take part. Commissioner Scott Hege says now that all of the cities have made their decisions, they can compute a tax rate so citizens can give their opinion of the proposal. The July 16 hearing will begin at 5:30 p.m. in the Maupin City Park Community Building.
