Save the Warrenton Library!

Voters weigh whether to extend five-year local option levy

(by Ethan Myers, The Astorian)

WARRENTON — Voters will decide whether to extend a lifeline to the Warrenton Community Library in the May election.

Measure 4-222 would renew a local option levy at the existing tax rate — 33 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value. If approved, the levy would raise more than $1.3 million over five years.

The library is not funded by the city’s budget and survives on the levy as the only source of revenue.
