Top ten property taxpayers in Lane County
Hynix, a manufacturer of computer memory, is the number one property taxpayer in Lane County. By KVAL Web StaffThe proposed Lane County budget makes cuts to contend with the loss of revenue from the Secure Rural Schools and Communities Act. David Garnick, budget/financial planning manager for Lane County, said those cuts only get the country through fiscal year 2010/2011 without the need for further cuts. Garnick said the county faces a "structural deficit" whereby costs associated with delivering government services outpace growth in property tax revenues. Expenses are growing at about 5 to 6 percent a year; revenues are only growing at 3 to 4 percent due to limits on property taxes enacted by Oregon voters.
