Seven cities do - five don't

In May the voters of  Roseburg, Drain. Glendale, Oakland, Reedsport, Riddle, and Yoncalla  will have an opportunity to vote to form a proposed Library Service District.  Myrtle Creek  Winston, Sutherlin, Elkton, and Canyonville city councils are not allowing their voters to vote. If the district is approved county wide, these cities will not be part of the service district and county funding to support their local library will be in question. The five cities that refused to sign the resolution amount to about 17% of the county population and contribute a little over 12% of the total county tax revenues.
