Bond measures up to voters in May

LANE – There’s several measures on the May ballot for Lane County voters to keep an eye on — and new faces volunteering for local districts, like school boards and fire, water or transportation.

In the Southern Willamette Valley, ballots will include candidates for South Lane School District, Springfield School District, Creswell School District, Pleasant Hill School District, Lane Community College, South Lane Fire & Rescue and Willamalane Park and Recreation District, among others.

Below is a brief introduction to each bond measure in the communities The Chronicle serves. 

In the upcoming weeks, The Chronicle will offer each candidate running for election the opportunity to write a guest column in addition to answering a Q&A, which will touch on the ballot measures outlined below, to be published in May.
