K fh rd ^ At a recent Boardman City budget hearing, a Councilman is quoted as saying the budget was too big. but he just couldn't see any place to cut it There's the same problem with the na tional and state budgets, everyone agrees they are too big but nobody can figure out a way to cut The school district has figured out a way when the voters just plain say no The cuts are always painful and usual ly fall "unfairly " They always base Hs Ed Glenn consequences thought hy v>me to he undesirable, but budgets can always be cut It really can he done But it only happens when it absolutely must W e don't know o f any governmental entity that reduced its budget when it was not absolutely necessary In the case o f the school district, the voters simply would not approve more taxes In the case o f the state and federal budgets, the voters have no voice They don't have a voice in Boardman either The city has a huge tax have approved a few years ago on the promise that "we ll never use it all. we just want to have it in case unusual circumstances require it sometime in the future " The voters wised up and rejected that same lie from the school board the last time they offered a tax base Only after Boardman'» "unusual circumstances" budget was adopted dKl the city fathers "d is c o v e r" that state law sets the tax base at ( 11 the approved tax base or (2) the highest tax levy o f the past three years whichever is lower So you just can't let a huge tax base lie unused Use it or lose it is the word o f the day And Boardman intends to use it And that makes the city’ s tax rate more than $10 per thousand More than Ihc school district's Ncarl> twice the county's rate And that makes Boardman rank in the top 20 o f 260 cities in Oregon About half o f those Cities operate on hall o f the lax rate folks pay in Boardman Incidentally. Boardman is not alone Heppner and Irrigon arc both over $8 and Morrow County is one o f the top counties in the state Our friend, the Councilman, has missed one place where some savings might be realized A major part o f the city 's general fund expenditure provides a police force in the city With the county sheriff and his deputies and the State police all passing through town, there has long been a sizable group o f taxpayers that question the need for a city police force That question has been intensified recently when the Boardman Chief ot (5>hcc went on record as favoring the closure ol all businesses that sell alcoholic beverages Ix t's sec. that's two restaurants with lounges, one with a motel, a tavern, the mayor’ s own grocery store, two convenience stores with gas stations, one with a bulk fuel business, and a City councilman s phamiacy/liquor store. (The local winery is outside the city limits, thank goodness ) There wouldn't be much left o f the Boardman business district if the C hief were to have his way Certainly not enough to require police protection. At a time when the Boardman city fathers arc scrabbling to find jobs for folks in town, to save the jobs that are already here and to promote some new growih through new jobs, it seems strange that little objection to the C h ie fs wish to shut 'em down has surfaced W e've done a little informal head count and it Wn>ks like nearly 100 jobs arc provided by businesses that sell alcoholic beverages W c can imagine how excited every one would be if a new employer would conic to town looking to employ 100 people Bui when the Mayor was accosted with the C h iefs position, lu.- |ust laugh ed it o ff and the City Manager dismissed it all by saying there wasn't anything he could do either As I see it. if our Counc ilman friend were really serious about a budget that's too big, he could save a hunch o f money by eliminating the one force in town that wants to shut 'em down But maybe he's not really serious after all Court St root M arket Fresh , fíi J Close 'Em Down WHERE YOUR DOLLAR MAKES MORE CENTS -4 •• V > “ Y *1 ea. 99V Toilet Tissue h Louis Ruh, bun length w* Turkey Hot Dogs • »t 1 ib o z / „y «/ « . «»<• y ’ «t IX J d *~ t fL i Assorted Cut P ork 'i p " X Chops S^t A Ä ea ea Prices ( iood June 15th - 19th O P E N 7 D A Y S A W E E K - 7 A M. - 6 P.M.
