Regional counties and cities voted Tuesday on an array of measures from streets and parks to fire districts and schools.
So far, voters in the area are largely giving measures a green light. Lane County’s Parks bond is on track to pass with nearly 60% of the vote, and Lane County’s Streets bond looks to pass with 64% voting “yes” as of mid-day Wednesday.
Both the Bend-LaPine Schools and the Philomath School District are on track to pass bonds, with 59% and 72% approval respectively.
Most fire and protection measures are trending toward passing, including the Upper McKenzie Rural Fire Protection District, North Douglas Fire and EMS, Central Coast Fire & Rescue, South Lane Fire & Rescue, and the Rainbow Fire & Water District.
Pleasant Hill's bond to replace the fire station is losing with 74% voting against. That bond was not endorsed by the Pleasant Hill Fire District's board of directors.
Springfield’s levy for jail and police services is passing with two-thirds of the vote.
And it looks like Lincoln City will increase its lodging tax from 9.5% to 12% with well over half voting yes.
