City rejects state's modest mowing proposal
Placeholder Image
McMinnville officials are taking a stand and rejecting a contract with the state for mowing and litter pickup along state highways.“Cities are very upset over this across the state,” said city administrator Bill Brock, in regard to what the state is offering this year for financial reimbursement. “They cut litter by more than half and mowing is about half.”The state allows cities and counties to mow and pick up litter along state-owned right of ways that pass through its boundaries. In return, the state provides financial reimbursement.
