Salem city councilors voted 7-2 Monday night, Feb. 9, to launch a pilot program reestablishing a social services fund, which will provide $200,000 for vulnerable community members, including people and families impacted by federal immigration enforcement.
We just finished voting for a local tax because Salem was running deficits and now we’re launching new pilot programs? Don’t come to me for money again if this is how its going to be spent.
