Salem City Hall — Local services in Salem

Stopped twice in their city within maybe 1 mile. Lack of communication between officers. They claimed 1 different departments despite being a half mile from eachother. I was stopped the 2nd time for a seperate reason, but i went from being stopped by police to being followed by police to being pulled over by police.

Bright side officers were extremely helpful with informational advice. As i only stopped in your town cause a tire blew out.

Ngl worst experience.

And i am a direct descendant of Margaret Scott i thought this was my hood.

Highly recommend steering clear of salem, a little uptight on laws, they dont see the spirit of the law. They see enforcement alone.

So bad, but she got...

I asked a City of Salem worker at a park recently if they considered the fact that the Willamette river rises quickly and already incapacitated homeless people camping close to the river may drown? The worker said "That's inconsequential". When I asked if they then considered all thousands of pounds of garbage going into the river all they could say is they lost their free inmate labor so they don't have the man power to do anything. Ironically the two workers sat in their truck for about 40 minutes around 10AM and literally did nothing at all. In my attempts emailing the Mayor's office numerous times only resulted in a routine notice "Someone will get back to you. It never happened. Weekly more large business offices are on the market in Salem for sale. It is clear this city has become inhospitable to many of it's residents. I for one cannot wait to get...
