AND NO ADDITIONAL TAXES ARE REQUIRED; Siuslaw County will acquire ITS PORTION of Lane County's taxes and other revenues.

Oregon Revised Statutes require 50% of the registered voters within an areas wanting to form a new county to sign a petition to place it on the next ballot.   Then ORS requires 50% of those voting who are registered voters in that same break away area to vote yes.   The rest is automatic requiring only a few directly involved in the transfer of government, taxes, subsidies, and equipment belonging to the new area to be removed from Lane County.   The Lane County rules and regulations everyone is familiar with would be initially used until a full revision could be done to finally reflect the coastal community.   There would be no additional taxes; actually, some are expected to be rolled back or completely removed.   Since the Siuslaw County area currently under Lane County receives maybe 3% of the 12% it provides Lane County, the coastal area would likly see a four-fold increase of funds for its local needs.
