Wow

Just wow.
No 4H and Extension services
No Willamalane park funding
No South Lane Fire and Rescue funding
No Lane Fire Authority funding
No Siuslaw School District bond

I guess Lane County doesn’t like farmers, kids, parks, or ambulances.

ETA: sorry everyone, I was being reactive and feeling upset and discouraged at the results. The fire levy’s failing is really bad and that’s what got me. I know times are absurdly hard and everyone is struggling, myself included; I live rurally and these failing means people will die waiting for ambulances. We’re already short on ambulances and EMTs. I understand it’s privileged to have an extra tank of gas money for emergency services, and it wasn’t my intention to guilt folks, just express frustration at the whole local, national, global situation. That and the Extension service is frickin awesome, especially for kids and rural communities.

i was so happy yesterday when i found these pretty little shrubs that bloom yellow then stay green all year and smell lovely! i was buying them for my outside dining patio at my restaurant. i happily bought five at $40 each with plans to come back to buy more for my home.
then last night i did a little web search and discovered they are highly toxic, deadly to animals, a fire hazard and highly invasive. this is SCOTCH BROOM. thankfully i hadn't planted any yet. the garden center accepted the return so i got my money back. when i asked the guy to confirm what i found he kinda shrugged and said "they're not native, they're all imported." that didn't make me feel better. BUYER BEWARE!!!
