Salem City Club Presents: A Debate on the Police Facility

A Debate: Local PACs Are Divided In How Much To Pay For Proposed New Police Facility. The possibility of building a new police facility has been studied and considered by Salem citizens and concerned groups for several years culminating in the City Council voting this summer to place an $82 million bond measure on the fall ballot. Since then, two political action committees have organized in favor and opposition of the measure and representatives of those groups will debate the subject at the September 23, 2016 Salem City Club luncheon program. TJ Sullivan, co-director of Keep Salem Safe PAC, will speak in favor of the measure and Brian Hines, officer of the Salem Can Do Better PAC, will speak in opposition.
